MARIYAM BEGUM vs BASHEERUNNISA BEGUM

The Supreme Court upheld the eviction of the tenant under Section 10(2)(i) and Section 10(2)(ii)(a) of the A.P. Buildings (Lease, Rent & Eviction) Control Act, 1960, confirming findings of wilful default in rent payment and sub-letting. The Court rejected the tenant's argument that non-payment was not wilful due to pending litigation, emphasizing that the Rent Controller's findings were concurrent and supported by evidence. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's orders for eviction.
