BALWANT SINGH vs ANAND KUMAR SHARMA .

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the eviction of tenants under Section 11(1)(d) of the Bihar Buildings (Lease, Rent & Eviction) Control Act, emphasizing that the tenant's obligation to pay rent is statutory and must be strictly complied with. The Court clarified that mere acceptance of delayed rent does not constitute a waiver of the landlord's right to evict for non-payment. The appeal by the tenants was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' rulings on the grounds of default in rent payment.
