Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the eviction of tenants under Sections 10(3)(c) and 14(1)(b) of the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960. The Court held that the grounds for eviction under these sections are distinct and mutually exclusive, thereby setting aside the eviction order and remitting the matter for reconsideration. The High Court's decision to allow the respondent's revision petitions and dismiss those of the appellants was challenged, emphasizing the need for proper evaluation of the grounds for eviction.
