VAISHAKHI RAM vs SANJEEV KUMAR BHATIANI

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 their tenancy. The Court found that the evidence presented, both oral and documentary, substantiated the claim of subletting, as the subtenants were conducting independent businesses. Consequently, the Court affirmed the decisions of the Rent Controller and the Rent Control Tribunal, dismissing the appeal.
