K. ACHUTA BHAT vs VEERAMANANI MANGA DEVI

The Supreme Court upheld the eviction of the appellant under Section 10 of the Andhra Pradesh Buildings (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control Act, 1960, on the grounds of sub-letting. The Court found that the agreement between the appellant and the second respondent effectively transferred the business along with the right to occupy the leased premises, despite the appellant's claim of retaining lease rights. The Court emphasized that the true nature of the transaction was a sub-letting, as evidenced by the transfer of rent obligations and the second respondent's control over the business operations.
