M.BHASKAR vs J.VENKATARAMA NAIDU

The Supreme Court upheld the eviction order under Section 10(2)(1) of the A.P. Buildings (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control Act, 1960, confirming that the appellant committed willful default in rent payment from June to October 1990. The Court rejected the appellant's argument regarding a contract to the contrary due to the landlord's absence, emphasizing the tenant's obligation to pay rent regularly. The appeal was dismissed, but the appellant was granted three months to vacate the premises upon providing an undertaking.
