Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Delhi High Court regarding the eviction of the tenant under Section 14(1)(a) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, due to default in payment of rent. The Court emphasized that the tenant's failure to comply with the order under Section 15(1) warranted eviction, as the delay in payment was not justified. The Court affirmed the eviction order, concluding that the tenant was not entitled to the benefits under Section 14(2) due to non-compliance with the rent payment order.
