N.D. Thandani (Dead) By Lrs vs Arnavaz Rustom Printer & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to evict the tenant under Section 10(2)(i) of the A.P. Buildings (Lease, Rent & Eviction) Control Act, 1960, due to the tenant's wilful default in paying rent. The Court emphasized that the tenant must demonstrate timely payment to avoid eviction, and the findings of the Rent Controller regarding the tenant's failure to provide adequate proof of rent payment were affirmed. The Court concluded that the tenant's repeated defaults justified the eviction order.
