M/S. ATUL CASTINGS LTD. vs BAWA GURVACHAN SINGH

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of Section 13(2)(ii)(b) of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, in a case where a tenant used one room of a residential property for office purposes. The Court held that the mere use of a single room for office files does not constitute a change of user from residential to non-residential, thus overturning the eviction order. The Court emphasized that the interpretation of the statute should align with its intended purpose, ruling in favor of the tenant.
