Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the Rajasthan Premises (Control of Rent and Eviction) Act, 1950, determining whether the High Court erred in setting aside concurrent findings of fact regarding eviction based on default in rent, sub-letting, and nuisance. The Court held that the High Court's interference was unjustified as it did not frame any substantial question of law, thereby upholding the findings of the lower courts regarding sub-letting and nuisance while confirming the absence of rent default. The appeal was allowed, reinforcing the landlord's right to evict the tenant under the Act.
