In Brief
The appellant-tenant challenged the High Court's decision upholding an eviction order issued by the Rent Controller. The tenant contested ownership of the premises, but the Supreme Court found no grounds to disturb the concurrent findings of the courts below regarding the validity of the eviction. Considering the appellant's advanced age (78), ill health, and 33 years of occupation, the Court declined to reverse the eviction but granted time until 31 December 2019 for the tenant to vacate, subject to filing an undertaking and complying with existing interim conditions.
