The Supreme Court upheld the eviction decree under the Delhi and Ajmer Rent Control Act, 1952, despite the appellants' claim that the Rajasthan Premises (Control of Rent and Eviction) Act, 1950 provided them additional protections. The Court clarified that the decree was not a nullity as it was not rendered without jurisdiction, emphasizing that the tenant must actively seek the opportunity to deposit rent during proceedings to benefit from the protections.
