D.V.PAUL vs MANISHA LALWANI

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision under the M.P. Accommodation Control Act, 1961, specifically Sections 12(1)(a), 12(1)(c), 12(1)(k), and 12(1)(m). The Court established that eviction requires proof of substantial damage or nuisance, which the respondent failed to demonstrate. The Court modified the decree to require the appellant to pay Rs.10,000 as compensation for damage, with eviction contingent on non-payment, affirming the High Court's order for deposit within four months.
