Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment, holding that the landlady was disentitled to eviction rights under Section 14(1)(e) of the Delhi Rent Control Act due to her failure to occupy available premises after claiming personal necessity. The Court emphasized that the requirement for personal necessity must exist at the time of final disposal of the proceedings, and subsequent events can be considered if relevant. The Court concluded that the landlady's choice not to occupy the premises undermined her claim for eviction.
