Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the applicability of Section 21(1)(a) of the U.P. Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972, affirming that the relationship of landlord and tenant can only be terminated through formal legal processes. The Court clarified that an agreement for sale does not automatically extinguish the tenancy unless legally executed. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the High Court's decision to maintain the eviction proceedings against the appellant.
