Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the eviction order under Section 14(1)(b) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, affirming that the American Company had unlawfully transferred possession of the premises to the Indian Company without the landlord's consent. The Court clarified that the amalgamation of the American Company with the Indian Company did not negate the requirement for landlord consent under the Act. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions regarding the eviction.
