Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the eviction of the tenant under the U.P. Urban Building (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972, specifically citing Section 20(4) and Section 30(2). The Court established that the tenant must clear all dues, including those that may be barred by time, and clarified that deposits made under Section 30(2) cannot be adjusted against the requirements of Section 20(4). Consequently, the Court affirmed the eviction order based on the tenant's failure to comply with the rent payment obligations.
