Sukhesh Chand Gupta vs Madan Lal

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in reversing the concurrent findings of the Rent Controller and the appellate authority regarding the tenant's default in rent payment. The Court emphasized that the tenant's claim of sending rent via money order was not presented in earlier proceedings, thus constituting willful default. The Court restored the lower court's judgment, allowing the landlord's claim while permitting the tenant to remain in possession until Diwali 2018 under specific conditions, including continued rent payment and an undertaking not to sublet.
