Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the eviction order under Section 14(1)(a) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, confirming that the tenant failed to prove payment of rent despite a demand notice issued on 19.1.2004. The Court emphasized that the tenant's claim of having tendered rent was not substantiated, leading to the conclusion that non-payment was established. The Court affirmed the Rent Controller's decision, thereby allowing the landlord's petition for eviction.
