C.N.RUDRAMURTHY vs K.BARKATHULLA KHAN

The Supreme Court examined the applicability of Section 21(1)(f) of the Karnataka Rent Control Act in a case concerning the eviction of a tenant who allegedly sublet the premises without consent. The Court upheld the High Court's finding that the first respondent was not a tenant due to lack of evidence and unlawful possession, affirming that the Civil Court lacked jurisdiction to order eviction under the Act. The Court concluded that the original tenant's actions constituted a violation of the Act, justifying eviction.
