GURCHARAN SINGH & ORS. vs V. K. KAUSHAL

The Supreme Court upheld the eviction order under Section 13(2)(ii)(a) of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, confirming that the tenant had sub-let the premises without the landlord's consent. The Court clarified that the Act was extended to Ambala Cantonment effective November 21, 1969, and since the alleged sub-letting occurred in 1967, the landlord could not invoke the Act's provisions. The Court dismissed the tenant's appeal, affirming the findings of the Rent Controller and the High Court regarding the validity of the eviction order.
