Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the application under Section 21 of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, concerning the tenant's objections to eviction based on alleged fraud and misrepresentation by the landlord. The Court held that the landlord's claim of needing the premises for personal use was not substantiated, as evidence indicated he resided elsewhere. The Court emphasized the necessity of recording evidence before dismissing the tenant's objections, thereby staying the dispossession until a decision was reached on the objections.
