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 leased premises to the Indian Company without landlord consent. The Court rejected the appellant's argument that the Indian Company was merely a legal successor to the American Company, emphasizing that the transfer constituted a sub-tenancy. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions regarding eviction.
