Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision that allowed the eviction of the appellant's father from the rented premises based on allegations of sub-letting. The court found that the evidence presented did not sufficiently establish that the tenant had sub-let the property to non-family members, as required under the U.P. Urban Buildings Act. Consequently, the eviction order was quashed, reinforcing tenant rights against arbitrary eviction.
