Hari Rao vs N. Govindachari & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the eviction of a tenant under the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960, specifically Sections 10(2)(ii)(b) and 10(2)(iii). The Court held that the tenant's use of the premises for selling readymade garments constituted a change in user, justifying eviction under Section 10(2)(ii)(b). Additionally, the tenant's actions of fixing sign-boards and drilling holes were deemed acts of waste under Section 10(2)(iii), warranting eviction. The Court upheld the eviction order against the tenant.
