BRIJ SUNDER KAPOOR ETC. ETC. vs IST ADDITIONAL DISTRICT JUDGE & ORS.

The Supreme Court examined the applicability of the U.P. Act III of 1947 concerning tenancy in cantonment areas, specifically under Section 21, which allows landlords to seek eviction for personal occupation. The Court held that the legislative history indicated that the Act was indeed applicable to cantonment areas following the enactment of the U.P. Cantonments (Extension of Rent Control Laws) Act, 1957. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the decision of the Additional District Judge allowing the landlord's application for eviction.
