Prem Prakash vs Santosh Kumar Jain

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order allowing eviction under Section 14(1)(a) and (b) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, confirming that the tenant had illegally sub-let the premises to a sub-tenant who was conducting independent business. The Court found that the tenant's claims of the sub-tenant being an employee were unsubstantiated, and the tenant was in arrears of rent since January 2002. The Court concluded that the eviction order was justified given the circumstances of unauthorized occupation and non-payment of rent.
