ROOP CHAND vs GOPI CHAND THALIA

The Supreme Court held that under Section 13(1)(e) of the Rajasthan Premises (Control of Rent & Eviction) Act, 1950, a tenant can be evicted if they have parted with possession of the premises without the landlord's permission, even if no rent is charged. The Court found that the tenant had effectively allowed a social club to use the premises, which constituted parting with possession. The appeal against eviction was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions that the tenant's actions amounted to a violation of the lease terms.
