Balwant Singh & Ors vs Anand Kumar Sharma & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding tenant eviction under Section 11(1)(d) of the Bihar Buildings (Lease, Rent & Eviction) Control Act, emphasizing that mere acceptance of delayed rent does not constitute waiver of the landlord's right to evict for non-payment. The Court clarified that the statute mandates strict compliance with rent payment timelines, and failure to pay rent for two months constitutes grounds for eviction. The appeal by the tenants was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' rulings.
