Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the eviction of tenants under the Rajasthan Premises (Control of Rent and Eviction) Act, 1950, specifically citing Section 19A regarding the deposit of rent. The Court found that the tenants had defaulted in payment of rent for over six months and had sublet the premises without the landlord's consent, which constituted valid grounds for eviction. The Court affirmed the decisions of the lower courts, dismissing the tenants' appeal and confirming the landlord's right to evict based on the established defaults.
