Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the eviction order under Section 14(1)(k) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, concluding that the appellant-tenant's use of the premises as a clinic was contrary to the lease terms, as she had shifted her residence to another property. The Court affirmed that the tenant's continued occupation for commercial purposes after acquiring a new residence constituted a valid ground for eviction. The ruling clarified the interpretation of residential use under the Act, emphasizing compliance with lease conditions.
