VIPIN KUMAR vs ROSHAN LAL ANAND AND ORS.

The Supreme Court upheld the eviction of a tenant under Section 13(2)(iii) of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, for impairing the value and utility of the building by constructing a wall and door without the landlord's permission. The Court clarified that the impairment is assessed from the landlord's perspective and that the tenant bears the burden to prove circumstances against eviction. The concurrent findings of the Rent Controller and appellate authorities were deemed justified, and the appeal was dismissed.
