Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the eviction of a tenant under the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960, specifically citing Section 10(2)(ii)(b) and Section 10(2)(iii). The Court held that the tenant's use of the premises for a trade in readymade garments constituted a user for a purpose other than that for which it was leased, justifying eviction. Additionally, the Court found that the tenant's actions, including drilling holes and fixing name-boards, amounted to waste, further supporting the landlord's claim for eviction.
