GANPAT RAM SHARMA & ORS. vs SMT. GAYATRI DEVI

The Supreme Court interpreted Section 14(1)(h) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, clarifying that the terms 'has built', 'has acquired', and 'has been allotted' indicate that a tenant must have a residence available for occupation at the time of eviction application. The Court upheld the High Court's ruling that the landlord's knowledge of the tenant's ownership of another property did not constitute a waiver of rights under the Act. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the eviction order based on the tenant's eligibility under the specified clause.
