Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court reversed the High Court's decision which had ruled that the activities of a club did not constitute business under the Haryana Urban (Control of Rent and Eviction) Act, 1973. The court held that the rented land was indeed being utilized for business purposes, thus making the Act applicable. This judgment clarifies the interpretation of 'business' within the context of the Act, reinforcing the applicability of rent control laws to club activities.
