ANIRUDHA RAMAKRISHNA KARLEKAR vs SMT. JANKIBAI R. BEDEKAR

The Supreme Court held that Section 13(1)(c) of the Bombay Rent Act applies to both residential and non-residential premises, rejecting the tenant's argument that it should be limited to residential properties. The Court clarified that the phrase 'convicted of using the premises' does not encompass every conviction but is limited to those where the tenant has taken advantage of the tenancy to commit an offence. The tenant's eviction was upheld due to repeated convictions for selling adulterated food, which constituted a deliberate misuse of the premises under Section 13(1)(c).
