Mahendra Kaur Arora vs Hdfc Bank Ltd

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Rent Tribunal, affirming that the respondent-Bank was liable for non-payment of rent under the lease agreement, which was terminated by the Bank with a three-month notice as per clause 6 of the agreement. The Court emphasized that the Bank's failure to vacate the premises and pay rent constituted a breach of the lease terms, thus validating the eviction order. The Court also ruled against the Bank's counterclaim for the refund of the security deposit, reinforcing the landlord's right to recover dues under the lease.
