Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the landlord's eviction suit under the Uttar Pradesh Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972, specifically referencing Section 20 and Section 30. The Court established that the tenant was entitled to protection under Section 20(4) due to continuous tenancy since 1977, and the landlord failed to prove default in rent payment. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that the trial court's findings were not subject to re-evaluation in revisional jurisdiction.
