Union Of India & Ors vs Kamla Verma

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to allow the de-hiring of premises under the Central Government's policy as per Para 19 Clause (c) of the Policy and Procedure for De-hiring of Houses dated 19.11.1979. The Court found that the premises were in a dilapidated condition and not being used by the respondents, thus justifying the petitioner's right to undertake repairs and de-hire the property. The appeal by the government authorities was dismissed, affirming the High Court's conclusion regarding the landlady's rights under the policy.
