OM PRAKASH & ORS. vs R. K . LAKRA

The Supreme Court held that under Section 11 of the Jammu and Kashmir Houses and Shops Rent Control Act, 1966, the appellants, as lessees, were entitled to evict the respondent despite the sub-lease being void, as they were suing on their own title. The Court clarified that even if the sub-lease was invalid, the respondent had no legal interest in the land, thus allowing the appellants' claim for possession. The Court emphasized that the respondent did not contest the appellants' title to the land, which further supported the appellants' right to evict.
