K.D. Dewan vs Harbhajan S. Parihar

The Supreme Court examined the definition of 'landlord' under Section 2(c) of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, determining that the respondent was entitled to seek eviction under Section 13(3)(a) as he satisfied the definition of landlord. The Court held that the relationship of landlord and tenant existed between the appellant and the respondent, affirming the eviction order issued by the Rent Controller and upheld by the Appellate Authority and High Court. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the lower courts' findings.
