Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in setting aside the concurrent findings of fact regarding eviction under Sections 13(1)(e) and 13(1)(k) of the Bombay Rents, Hotel and Lodging House Rates Control Act, 1947. The Court emphasized that the tenant's claim of residing in the premises was not substantiated, and the evidence indicated sub-letting to a third party. The appeal was allowed, reinstating the eviction order against the tenant.
