M. ARUL JOTHI vs LAJJA BAL (DEAD)

The Supreme Court interpreted Section 10(2)(ii)(b) of the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960, determining that a tenant's use of a rented shop for a purpose other than specified in the rent agreement can lead to eviction. The Court held that the tenant's engagement in a grocery business, in addition to the specified business of radios and furniture, constituted a different user, justifying eviction. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions regarding the tenant's eviction.
