Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the trial court's decree in favor of the plaintiff under the Haryana Urban (Control of Rent and Eviction) Act, 1973, emphasizing that the defendant's claim of tenancy was unsubstantiated as he failed to provide evidence of a lease or rent payments. The Court clarified that the termination of the license by the plaintiff was valid, and the defendant's unauthorized occupation did not confer any rights. The High Court's dismissal of the second appeal was thus overturned, reinstating the trial court's judgment.
