Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the eviction order under Sections 10(2)(i), 10(2)(ii)(a)(b), and 10(2)(iii) of the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960, affirming that the original tenant's sub-letting and failure to pay rent constituted valid grounds for eviction. The Court found that the change in the business name and ownership from 'Best Mark Super Market' to 'Amutham Super Market' indicated a breach of the rental agreement. The High Court's decision to allow the revision application was reversed, and the eviction suit was reinstated in favor of the landlady.
