Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the landlord's eviction petition under Section 14 of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, asserting that the tenant did not sub-let the premises to his son-in-law. The Court found that the partnership deed was a sham and that the son-in-law was in exclusive possession of the shop without the landlord's written permission, thus constituting a violation of the Act. The Court affirmed the lower courts' findings, emphasizing the necessity of maintaining proper records for a legitimate partnership.
