Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the eviction proceedings under the U.P. Urban Building (Control of Letting of Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972, where the landlord sought eviction of the tenant for personal use. The court examined the procedural delays caused by the tenant's repeated adjournment requests and the implications of the ex-parte order issued against the tenant. Ultimately, the court upheld the landlord's right to seek eviction for personal use, emphasizing the need for timely resolution in such matters.
