Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's decision affirming the Additional Rent Controller's order under Section 14-D of the Delhi Rent Control Act, which allows a widow to seek eviction of a tenant for personal use of the premises. The Court clarified that the term 'letting out by her or by her husband' includes letting by the predecessor-in-interest, thus broadening the interpretation of the statute. The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the High Court's directive to decide the eviction petition on merits.
