In Brief
Tenants of a trust property sought protection against eviction under the Uttar Pradesh Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent & Eviction) Act, 1972. The Supreme Court did not decide whether the Act applied to trust properties. Instead, it dismissed the appeal but granted tenants time until June 30, 2018 to vacate peacefully while continuing to pay use and occupation charges. An undertaking was required, with violation exposing tenants to contempt proceedings.
