Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under Section 6A of the Delhi Rent Control Act, the Karta of a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) can file an eviction suit even if an elder member is alive, provided the Karta has the authority to act on behalf of the HUF. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision that the first appellate court had adequately addressed the issues and re-evaluated the evidence presented. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, upholding the eviction order against the appellant.
