Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the eviction of the appellants under Section 14(1)(b) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, confirming that the appellants had sublet a portion of the suit shop to others, thereby violating the terms of tenancy. The Court found that the evidence presented, both oral and documentary, sufficiently established that an independent business was being conducted by the subtenants, justifying the eviction order. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the decisions of the Rent Controller and the Rent Control Tribunal.
