P. John Chandy And Company (P) Ltd vs John P. Thomas

The Supreme Court upheld the Kerala High Court's decision to allow eviction of the tenant under Section 11(4)(i) of the Kerala Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1965, due to unauthorized sub-letting without landlord consent. The Court found that the tenant's claim of implied consent for sub-letting was unsubstantiated, as the evidence presented did not establish any positive conferment of rights to sub-let. Consequently, the eviction order was justified, affirming the lower court's ruling.
