ALI AHMED vs MAQSOOD ALI — 2/2026

Case Summary: Ali Ahmed v. Maqsood Ali (RCA DJ 2/26) District Judge Aashish Gupta upheld the trial court's possession decree in favor of landlord Ali Ahmed against tenant Maqsood Ali over the second floor of a Delhi property. The court found that Maqsood admitted entering as a tenant and thus remained a tenant despite claiming he paid ₹7.65 lac for eventual ownership—applying the principle "once a tenant, always a tenant." Since the disputed floor was constructed after September 2021, it fell outside the Delhi Rent Control Act's 10-year protection period, allowing eviction without rent control restrictions.
