SMT. VIDHYA DHARI BHAGAT vs ALLAHABAD LAW JOURNAL CO. LTD.

The Supreme Court held that under Section 19(2) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, a tenant can seek re-entry into premises only if the eviction was executed under specific sections, including Section 14(1)(e). The Court clarified that since the tenant's possession was delivered based on a compromise in a separate suit under Section 14(1)(a), the tenant's application for re-entry was not maintainable. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, overturning the Rent Control Tribunal's directive to restore possession to the tenant.
