Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the temporary sale of televisions alongside the primary business of cycle and rickshaw repairs did not constitute a change of user under Section 13(2)(ii)(b) of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949. The Court emphasized that as long as the landlord's interests are not prejudiced, minor changes in user are permissible. The eviction order was set aside, affirming that the tenant's activities did not violate the lease terms as per Section 108(o) of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882.
