SHASHI JAIN vs TARSEM LAL (DEAD)

The Supreme Court upheld the application for ejectment of Tarsem Lal under Section 13 of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, confirming that the tenant was in arrears of rent and had sub-let the premises without consent. The Court established that a landlord can seek eviction on grounds of non-payment of rent and unauthorized sub-letting, emphasizing the necessity of the landlord's personal use of the property. The appeal by the landlady was allowed, reversing the lower court's decision that had favored the tenant.
