Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the dispute regarding the tenancy of the property 'Gurdial Complex' under the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949. The Court held that Goyal, the tenant, violated the lease agreement by subletting the premises without consent, which constituted grounds for eviction under Section 13 of the Act. The Court affirmed the owners' right to seek eviction and ruled in favor of the owners, allowing the petition for eviction against Goyal and the sub-tenants.
