HIRALAL KAPUR vs PRABHU CHOUDHURY

The Supreme Court held that the mere payment of rent by two cheques does not establish the existence of two separate tenancies under the Delhi Rent Control Act. The Court emphasized that the landlord's acceptance of rent does not imply recognition of a separate tenant, especially when the landlord explicitly denied such recognition in prior correspondence. The finding of the Rent Controller regarding a single tenancy was upheld, as the High Court's interference in factual matters was deemed inappropriate under Section 25(B)(8) of the Act.
