Mariyam Begum vs Basheerunnisa Begum And Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the eviction of the tenant under Section 10 of the A.P. Buildings (Lease, Rent & Eviction) Control Act, 1960, confirming the findings of wilful default in rent payment by the tenant. The Court ruled that the tenant's belief that pending litigation excused non-payment was insufficient to negate wilful default. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions regarding eviction based on established grounds of default and sub-letting.
