LAW FOR ALL

Section 14(1)(a) and (b) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958 - Sub-tenancy or sub-letting =whether in the present facts and circumstances of the case the order of eviction passed by the High Court was just and proper?- In the present facts and circumstances of the case, we are of the opinion that the original owner-respondent No. 1 herein has proved beyond doubt that the property is in exclusive possession of the sub-tenant and the appellant herein has not been able to deny the claim of sub-tenancy in favour of Respondent No. 2. The absence of evidence and failure to discharge the onus lay heavy on appellant and there could be no presumption other than that the suit premises had been sublet and parted with possession by the appellant herein to the Respondent No. 2.
