Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the provisions of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958 ceased to apply to the premises once the rent exceeded Rs.3500/- per month, as per Section 6A and Section 8 of the Act. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to set aside the trial court's order denying eviction under Order XII Rule 6 of the Code of Civil Procedure, emphasizing that the tenancy was terminated legally by the plaintiff. The outcome was in favor of the plaintiff, allowing the eviction proceedings to continue.
