Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order directing the tenant to vacate the premises for reconstruction, confirming the Rent Controller's decree under the Himachal Pradesh Urban Rent Control Act. The Court noted that the tenant's willingness to vacate was contingent upon being re-inducted into an equivalent area post-construction, which the landlord agreed to. The Court emphasized that the tenant must hand over possession by 31st October 2016, failing which the landlord could execute the eviction order.
