Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in interfering with the findings of fact by the Appellate Authority regarding the eviction of tenants on grounds of subletting and non-payment of rent under the relevant provisions of the Rent Control Act. The Court emphasized that the Appellate Authority is the final authority on facts and should not be disturbed unless there is a clear error. The judgment of the High Court was set aside, affirming the eviction order passed by the Appellate Authority.
