Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the dispute over possession of property under the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, specifically Sections 14(1)(a), (c), and (k). The Court held that the tenant's acceptance of rent without the landlord's confirmation did not create a valid tenancy, thus affirming the plaintiff's right to recover possession. The appeal was allowed, reversing the lower court's decision that had favored the defendant.
