Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of Section 14C of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, clarifying that the landlord is not required to prove 'bona fide requirement' for eviction under this section, unlike Section 14(1)(e). The Court held that the Rent Controller has the authority to grant eviction without the necessity of establishing bona fides, thereby affirming the dismissal of the appellant's revision against the eviction order. The judgment emphasized the legislative intent to facilitate landlords in regaining possession of their premises expeditiously.
