Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of eviction under the H.P. Urban Rent Control Act, 1987, specifically regarding subletting and default in rent payment. The Court held that the grounds for eviction must be based on the actions of the current tenant, not their predecessor, establishing that the guilt of the predecessor cannot be attributed to the successor tenant. The appeal by the landlord was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions that found no grounds for eviction based on the evidence presented.
