Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in setting aside the order of the reviewing authority which granted permission under clause 13(3)(iii) of the C.P. & Berar Letting of Houses and Rent Control Order, 1949. The Court established that sub-letting without landlord consent constitutes a violation of the Rent Control Order, and the original tenant's actions warranted the eviction of the sub-tenants. The appeal was allowed, restoring the order of the Rent Controller in favor of the landlords.
