Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of eviction under Section 7(2) of the Rent Control Act, 1997, emphasizing that the landlord must prove the arrears of rent for eviction to be valid. The Court held that the application for eviction was justified due to the tenant's failure to pay the due rent, which was significantly higher than the previous amounts. The Court also clarified that the provisions of the Act must be adhered to, and the matter was remanded for further proceedings in accordance with the law.
