Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning the eviction of a tenant under the Rajasthan Rent Control Act, 2001. The Court held that the tenant's claim of reduced rent was not valid as the Rent Tribunal had determined the correct rent to be Rs.16,564 per month, and the tenant's failure to pay this amount constituted default. The Court overturned the Rajasthan High Court's decision that had set aside the eviction order, thereby reinstating the eviction order of the Rent Tribunal.
