Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the eviction order under Section 14(1)(e) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, confirming that the appellants were the rightful owners and landlords of the property in question. The Court found that the respondent's repeated challenges to the eviction decree were frivolous and had already been addressed in previous judgments, including a High Court ruling that dismissed the respondent's revision petition. The Court emphasized that the executing court was not permitted to re-evaluate settled issues, thereby affirming the eviction order and allowing the appellants to regain possession of their property.
