JAI SINGH vs M.C.D.

The Supreme Court examined the Delhi High Court's judgment under Article 227, which quashed the eviction order against the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) for alleged sub-letting by the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC). The Court held that the High Court erred in its interpretation of tenancy and sub-tenancy, emphasizing that the statutory nature of DTC and MCD's relationship precluded the finding of sub-letting under Section 14(1)(b) of the Delhi Rent Control Act. The Supreme Court reinstated the eviction order, affirming the lower courts' findings on the landlord-tenant relationship and illegal possession transfer.
