SHANTILAL KESHARMAL GANDHI vs PRABHAKAR BALKRISHNA MAHANUBHAV

The Supreme Court upheld the eviction of the tenant under Section 13(1)(a), (c), and (k) of the Bombay Rent, Hotel & Lodging House Rates Control Act, 1947, confirming that the tenant's use of the premises for commercial purposes constituted a breach of the original letting terms. The Court found that the tenant had caused nuisance by blocking common areas and had not used the premises for residential purposes for over six months, thus justifying eviction. The judgment emphasized the importance of adhering to the terms of the lease as per Section 108(o) of the Transfer of Property Act.
