M/S.BHARAT SALES LTD. vs L.I.C.OF INDIA

The Supreme Court upheld the eviction order under Section 14(1)(b) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, affirming that subletting occurs when a tenant transfers possession of the premises to another person without the landlord's consent. The Court rejected the petitioner's argument that proof of consideration between the tenant and sub-tenant was necessary for eviction, emphasizing that sub-tenancy can exist without such evidence. The Court concluded that the findings of the Rent Controller and the Tribunal regarding subletting were correct, thereby dismissing the special leave petition.
