NAND KISHORE vs YASHPAL SINGH

The Supreme Court examined the application for eviction under Section 13 of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, where the appellant sought eviction of the respondent for using a residential property for commercial purposes without consent. The Court held that such unauthorized use constitutes a valid ground for eviction under the Act. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's order that had reversed the Appellate Authority's decision, thereby reinstating the eviction order.
