P.K. VASUDEVA vs ZENOBIA BHANOT

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of Section 13A of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, which allows landlords to recover possession of residential buildings under specific conditions post-retirement. The Court held that the landlord is entitled to evict only one tenant under this provision, as clarified by the High Court's interpretation of the second proviso to Section 13A. Consequently, the eviction orders against the appellants were upheld, affirming the High Court's decision to limit eviction to one tenant only.
