Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Appellate Authority under the Haryana Urban (Control of Rent and Eviction) Act, 1973, specifically Section 15(4), affirming its jurisdiction to admit additional evidence in eviction proceedings. The Court found that the landlord's need for the property was bona fide and that the evidence supported the conclusion that the previous property was not physically vacant. The appeal by the tenant was dismissed, confirming the Appellate Authority's findings and the admissibility of additional evidence.
