Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the eviction of tenants under Section 12 of the Bombay Rents Hotel and Lodging House Control Act, 1947, due to their failure to pay rent arrears for over six months and non-compliance with demand-cum-quit notices. The Court confirmed the findings of the lower courts that the tenants were duly served with notices and did not dispute the standard rent within the statutory period. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the landlords' right to reclaim possession of the premises.
