Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's decision to restore the Rent Controller's order striking off the tenant's defense under Section 15(7) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, due to non-compliance with the order to pay arrears of rent. The Court found that the tenant failed to provide evidence of payment and that the total arrears were higher than claimed. The Court affirmed the High Court's ruling, dismissing the tenant's appeal and allowing the landlord's petition.
