Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the eviction of a tenant can be sustained on the ground of arrears of rent under relevant tenancy laws, even if the High Court remitted the matter for ascertainment of the tenant's willingness to reoccupy after reconstruction. The Court emphasized that the concurrent finding of arrears of rent was undisputed, thus negating the need for further inquiry into the reconstruction aspect. The judgment of the High Court was set aside, restoring the Trial Court's decree for eviction, although the landlord chose not to recover the arrears of rent.
