Bhairon Sahai (D) Thr.Lrs. vs Bishamber Dayal (D) Thr.Lrs. .

The Supreme Court analyzed the eviction petition under Section 14 of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, determining that a landlord can seek eviction if a tenant parts with possession without consent. The Court upheld the Rent Controller's finding that Respondent No.1 had sub-let the premises to Respondent No.2 without the landlord's approval, violating the provisions of the Delhi Rationing Order, 1964, which prohibits transferability of a fair price shop license. The Court reversed the Tribunal's decision and reinstated the eviction order in favor of the Appellant-Landlord.
