WALAITI RAM (D) THRU. LRS. vs S. DALIP SINGH — C.A. No. 1881/2004

Summary of C.A. No. 1881 of 2004 (Walaiti Ram through LRS v. S. Dalip Singh) The Supreme Court allowed the tenant's appeal against eviction. The landlord had sought eviction on grounds of unauthorized change in business use (from cloth business to shoe manufacturing). The Court found no prohibition clause in the rent note barring additional businesses and relied on precedent (*Mohan Lal v. Jai Bhagwan*) establishing that absent explicit restrictions, change of user alone does not justify eviction. The impugned orders were set aside and the Rent Controller's dismissal of the eviction petition was restored. The landlord retained the right to seek fair rent fixation separately.
