SUDERSHAN DEVI vs SUSHILA DEVI

The Supreme Court upheld the eviction order under Section 20(4) of the Uttar Pradesh Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972, confirming that the tenant's failure to deposit arrears of rent at the first hearing justified eviction. The Court clarified that 'at the first hearing' refers to the date when the hearing actually took place, not merely the date listed for hearing. The appeal by the tenant's legal representatives was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions.
