P. VEERAPPA vs M.A. MOHAMMED AMANULLA

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against the Karnataka High Court's order affirming the eviction of the appellant under Section 21 of the Karnataka Rent Control Act. The Court held that the appellant's tenancy rights, which were merged with the agreement to purchase the premises, were revived upon non-compliance with the agreement's terms. The Court clarified that the Rent Controller had jurisdiction to proceed with the eviction as the appellant's rights as a tenant were reinstated due to the failure to fulfill the contract obligations.
