Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to evict the tenant under Section 12(1)(a) and Section 12(1)(o) of the Madhya Pradesh Accommodation Control Act, 1961, confirming that the tenant was in default of rent and had made unauthorized constructions. The Court found that the tenant's claims of having paid the due rent were not substantiated, and the High Court's interference with the first appellate court's findings was justified. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the eviction order against the tenant.
