Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the eviction order against the tenant for non-payment of rent under the Delhi Rent Control Act, confirming that valid service of notice was established despite the tenant's claims of non-receipt. The Court emphasized that the tenant's refusal to accept the notice was adequately proven by the postman's testimony, which was not effectively challenged during cross-examination. The Court reiterated the importance of cross-examination rights under Section 138 and Section 146 of the Evidence Act, affirming the lower courts' findings and dismissing the tenant's appeal.
