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 constituted sufficient grounds for eviction. The Court noted that the tenants had not complied with the Rent Controller's provisional assessment and failed to deposit the required rent, which justified the eviction. The Punjab and Haryana High Court's decision to set aside the eviction order was reversed, affirming the landlord's right to evict the tenants for non-payment of rent.
