Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed whether the suit plot constituted 'premises' under Section 2(i) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958. The Court held that the tenancy created through a compromise included the latrine structure on the suit plot, thus falling under the definition of premises, and affirmed the lower courts' dismissal of the appellant's suit for eviction as barred by Section 50 of the Act. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the interpretation of the tenancy agreement.
