Jai Singh & Ors vs M.C.D. & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in quashing the orders of the ARC and ARCT regarding the eviction of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) from premises leased to the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC). The Court clarified that the relationship between DTC and MCD did not constitute sub-letting under Section 14(1)(b) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, as the entities were statutory creations and there was no parting of possession. The Court reinstated the findings of the lower courts, emphasizing the need for a proper examination of tenancy concepts in such cases.
