Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order for eviction of tenants under Section 14(1)(e) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, confirming that the landlord required the premises bona fide for personal use. The Court found that the tenancy was established under a Licence Deed, which permitted residential use, and that the landlord had no other suitable accommodation. The Court emphasized the importance of the intended use of the premises in determining the applicability of eviction grounds under the Act.
