Anil Bajaj & Anr vs Vinod Ahuja

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision granting leave to the tenant to contest eviction proceedings under Section 14(1)(e) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958. The Court emphasized that the tenant must only establish a prima facie case raising a triable issue for leave to defend to be granted, rather than proving a strong case against the landlord. The Court found that the relationship between the landlords and their other properties required further examination, thus supporting the High Court's reversal of the Additional Rent Controller's decision.
