M/S. BOORUGU MAHADEV & SONS vs SIRIGIRI NARASING RAO .

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court which restored the judgment of the Principal Rent Controller under Section 10 of the A.P. Buildings (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control Act, 1960, allowing eviction of the respondents for default in payment of rent since June 1987. The Court found that the respondents had failed to prove their claim of ownership over the suit premises and that the appellants were entitled to recover possession. The judgment clarified the legal standing of tenants in eviction proceedings and the necessity of timely rent payment.
