Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the eviction order under Section 13 of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, confirming that the tenant's failure to pay rent and comply with provisional assessments justified eviction. The Court found that the tenants had not demonstrated valid reasons for non-payment and had failed to comply with the Rent Controller's orders. The High Court's decision to set aside the eviction order was reversed, affirming the landlord's right to evict the tenants for defaulting on rent payments.
