Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of eviction under the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, specifically Sections 14(1)(e) and 14-D. The Court held that the High Court lacked the authority to convert an eviction application from Section 14(1)(e) to Section 14-D, emphasizing that such powers are reserved for the Supreme Court under Article 142 of the Constitution. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's rejection of the eviction claim based on lack of bona fide intention.
