Smt. Sudha Rani Garg vs Sri Jagdish Kumar (Dead) And Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court, confirming that the Uttar Pradesh Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent, and Eviction) Act, 1972 was not applicable to the tenant's case. The Court emphasized that the burden of proof lies with the landlord to demonstrate the building's exemption from the Act under Section 2(2). The Court found that the Revisional Court and High Court correctly interpreted the relevant provisions, leading to the dismissal of the tenant's appeal for eviction.
