B. KANDASAMY REDDIAR vs O. GOMATHI AMMAL

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of Section 10(3)(c) of the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control Act), 1960, in relation to a landlady's eviction petition after she withdrew her claim under Section 14(1)(b). The Court held that the landlady could still seek relief under Section 10(3)(c) despite the withdrawal, emphasizing that both provisions are independent. The Court ultimately upheld the eviction order in favor of the landlady, reinforcing the principle that comparative hardship must be considered in eviction cases under the Act.
