Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of a lease agreement under Section 14(1)(e) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, emphasizing that the intention of the parties must be ascertained from the expressions used in the document. The Court upheld the High Court's finding that the premises were let out for both residential and commercial purposes, rejecting the Rent Controller's interpretation that limited the use to residential only. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to reverse the eviction order against the tenant, establishing that the lease allowed for business use as well.
