Ramji Purshottam (D) By Lrs. & Ors vs Laxmanbhai D, Kurlawala (D) By Lrs. & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the eviction of tenants under Section 12 of the Bombay Rents Hotel and Lodging House Control Act, 1947, confirming that the tenants were duly served with demand-cum-quit notices and were in arrears of rent for over six months without raising a dispute regarding standard rent. The Court found that the tenants failed to pay rent or tender it in court as mandated by Section 12(3)(b) of the Act. The judgment of the lower courts was affirmed, leading to the eviction order being maintained.
