COMMON CAUSE vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court addressed the need for a National Housing Policy and the implementation of the Delhi Rent Act, 1995, emphasizing the necessity for rational and humane landlord-tenant laws. The Court highlighted that the Act, which was passed but not yet operational due to the lack of a notification by the Central Government, should be enforced to alleviate rent-related litigations. The Court directed the Union of India to issue the necessary notification to bring the Act into force, thereby facilitating the growth of rental housing and protecting tenant rights.
