Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under Section 14(1)(h) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, a tenant can be evicted if they have acquired alternative residential accommodation. The Court found that the respondent's wife had purchased a flat, thereby establishing the grounds for eviction. The Court set aside the High Court's order that had remitted the case back to the trial court, affirming the eviction decree issued by the Additional Rent Controller.
