Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the eviction of the appellant under Section 14A of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, affirming that the landlord was entitled to evict the tenant for personal occupation despite the tenant's objections based on a later government notification. The Court clarified that the second notification did not negate the obligations imposed by the first notification, which required government employees owning houses to vacate government accommodation. The Court found that the landlord's need for the premises was legitimate and the appeal was dismissed.
