Ram Dass vs Davinder

The Supreme Court upheld the eviction of a tenant under Section 13(2)(v) of the Haryana Urban (Control of Rent) & Eviction Act, 1973, confirming that a landlord can seek eviction if the tenant has ceased to occupy the premises for four months without reasonable cause. The Court found that the landlord provided substantial evidence, including witness testimonies and documentation, to prove the tenant's absence from the shop. The High Court's decision to dismiss the eviction application was set aside, and the landlord's appeal was allowed.
