Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled on the interpretation of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, specifically Section 13, regarding the eviction of tenants for unauthorized subletting. The Court held that the lease agreement's explicit prohibition against subletting was enforceable, and the owners were justified in seeking eviction due to Goyal's violation of this term. The Court affirmed the lower courts' decisions to evict Goyal and the alleged sub-tenants, emphasizing the importance of adhering to lease conditions.
