DR. M. K. SALPEKAR vs SUNIL KUMAR SHAMSUNDER CHAUDHARI AND OTHERS

The Supreme Court held that Clause 13(3)(v) of the C.P. & Berar Letting of Houses and Rent Control Order, 1949 applies to both residential and non-residential buildings. The Court clarified that the addition of the Explanation does not exclude non-residential buildings from the purview of the sub-clause, as it deals with situations of securing alternative accommodation uniformly. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the Rent Controller's decision to allow eviction based on the tenant's alternative accommodation.
