Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the eviction order under the Bombay Rents, Hotel and Lodging House Rates Control Act, 1947 was valid as the trial court found that the premises were unlawfully sub-let, violating Section 13(1)(e) of the Act. The High Court's interference under Article 227 was deemed inappropriate as it disregarded the concurrent findings of the lower courts regarding the tenancy rights and sub-letting. The Court reinstated the eviction order, affirming the landlords' rights over the property.
