Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of Section 14D of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, in the context of eviction proceedings initiated by a widow landlady. The Court held that the landlady's bona fide requirement for personal use was sufficient grounds for eviction, affirming the decisions of the Additional Rent Controller and the High Court. The Court also noted a conflict in previous judgments regarding the interpretation of 'let out' in the Act, leading to the referral of the matter to a larger bench for resolution.
