Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the eviction of the respondent-tenant under the Uttar Pradesh Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972, specifically referencing Section 30(2) regarding the validity of rent deposit. The Court found that the respondent-tenant's deposit was invalid, affirming the Trial Court's decree for eviction due to non-payment of rent since 1991. The High Court's decision to dismiss the landlady's suit was reversed, reinstating the eviction order.
