Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the ejectment suit filed by the landlord under Section 20 of the Uttar Pradesh Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972, affirming that the landlord failed to establish grounds for eviction. The Court found that the tenants had made efforts to renew the lease and had continued to pay rent, thus negating claims of default. The Court held that the trial court's findings were justified, and the tenants' actions were in accordance with the terms of the original rent agreement.
