Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the eviction of tenants under Section 22(d) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, affirming that the University of Delhi, as a public institution, is entitled to seek eviction for the bona fide need of providing residential accommodation to its employees. The Court clarified that such accommodation is essential for the furtherance of the University's activities, thus satisfying the statutory requirements. The appeal by the tenants was dismissed, confirming the lower courts' findings on the bona fide need.
