CHORDIA AUTOMOBILES vs S. MOOSA

The Supreme Court upheld the eviction of the appellant under Section 10(2)(i) of the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960, for default in payment of rent. The Court found that the appellant's claim of an oral agreement for enhanced rent was not substantiated, and the failure to pay the agreed rent constituted wilful default. The Court affirmed the decisions of the Rent Controller and the Appellate Authority, confirming that the appellant had not complied with the rent payment obligations despite the legal proceedings.
