Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the eviction order under Section 13(2)(ii)(a) of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, confirming that the tenant had sub-let the premises, incurring liability for eviction. The Court noted that the Rent Controller's findings were based on the local Commissioner's report, which indicated sub-letting, while the Appellate Authority's reversal lacked sufficient evidence to prove exclusive possession by the sub-tenants. The Court ultimately ruled in favor of the landlady, affirming the eviction order.
