In Brief
A tenant was evicted after the High Court vacated a previously granted stay order, citing non-compliance with conditions. During this period, the landlord took possession of a basement portion (beauty parlour) where the tenant had been operating a business. The tenant retained possession of the second floor residential unit. The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and modified the interim terms, reducing the use and occupation charges payable by the tenant from Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 6,000 per month for the second floor, recognizing the changed circumstances arising from the landlord's partial possession.
