Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed an appeal under the Delhi Rent Control Act, specifically examining Section 14(1)(e) concerning eviction for bona fide need. The Court upheld the findings of the Rent Controller and the High Court, which determined that the landlord had not disclosed alternate accommodation available to him, thus lacking 'clean hands' in his petition. The Court affirmed the eviction order, emphasizing the necessity for landlords to provide full disclosure of relevant facts in eviction proceedings.
