Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellant created a sub-lease in favor of M/s United Automobiles, thereby parting with possession under Section 14(1) Proviso (b) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958. The Court ruled that the unregistered lease deed's terms, including the prohibition on sub-letting, were inadmissible due to non-registration, and thus the appellant could not rely on them. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the eviction order against the appellant.
