Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellants' eviction suit under the Uttar Pradesh Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972, specifically under Section 21, which addresses eviction on grounds of default and bona fide requirement. The Court found that the appellants failed to establish their claim of default in rent payment and unauthorized sub-letting, as the tenant had deposited rent in court under Section 30 of the Act. Consequently, the Court affirmed the High Court's decision, maintaining the tenant's right to remain in possession of the premises.
