N.D.THADANI (DEAD) BY LRS. vs ARNAVAZ RUSTOM PRINTER

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's liability for eviction arises only upon a finding of wilful default by the Controller, which was established in this case after a lengthy litigation history. The Court confirmed that the tenant failed to provide adequate proof of rent payment, thus justifying the eviction order.
