SRI SWAMI KRISHNANAND GOVINDA NAND vs M/S.M.D.OSWAL HOSIERY(REGD.)

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of Section 22 of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, regarding the eviction of a tenant by a registered society. The Court held that an admission made by a party's counsel in court does not constitute an admission of the party itself unless it meets the criteria set forth in Section 18 of the Evidence Act. The Court found that the Additional Rent Controller's satisfaction regarding the landlord's bona fide requirement for the premises was not supported by adequate material, rendering the eviction order without jurisdiction. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, upholding the High Court's decision.
