N.C.DAGA vs INDER MOHAN SINGH RANA

The Supreme Court upheld the eviction order under Section 14(1)(e) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, affirming that the tenant failed to establish a prima facie case for leave to defend the eviction petition. The Court noted that the tenant's claim of the premises being let for commercial purposes was not substantiated by any evidence, and the Rent Controller's findings were supported by the absence of triable issues. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, and the eviction order was maintained, with a six-month stay on execution as per Section 14(7) of the Act.
