SHRI MUNSHI RAM vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court held that under Section 14(1)(k) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, a tenant cannot resist eviction if they have used the premises contrary to the lease conditions, even if the landlord previously permitted such use. The Court emphasized that the lease became void due to the misuse of the premises for commercial purposes without consent from the lessor. The Court upheld the order of the Additional Rent Controller directing the tenants to cease misuse and pay compensation to the landlord.
