SATYAWATI SHARMA vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court examined the constitutionality of Section 14(1)(e) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, in relation to Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court held that the provision is not ultra vires and affirmed the interpretation that eviction can only be ordered for premises let for residential purposes. The Court upheld the decisions of the lower authorities, concluding that the appellant failed to establish bona fide need for eviction under the specified section, thereby dismissing the appeal.
