Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the eviction of the respondent-tenant from the residential property under the Rent Control Act. The Court noted that the tenant had agreed to vacate the house by 30.09.2012, while allowing him to retain the shop on the condition of paying enhanced rent of Rs. 10,000 per month. The Court confirmed that the tenant had complied with the order by vacating the house, and directed the tenant to deposit Rs. 8.70 lakhs for unpaid rent, establishing the principle that landlords are entitled to timely rent payments.
