In Brief
Two landlords sought eviction of a tenant from both a residential house and a shop in Ambala Cantt under the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958. The Rent Controller and Appellate Authority ordered eviction from both properties. However, before the High Court, the landlords consented to the tenant retaining the shop if higher rent was paid. The Supreme Court found this consent binding. After the tenant vacated the house and deposited arrears of Rs. 8.70 lakhs as directed, the Court disposed of the appeals, allowing the landlords to withdraw the deposited amount while preserving their right to pursue fresh eviction petitions or other remedies in future.
