Quick Summary: On December 5, 2025, the High Court of Delhi, led by Justice Saurabh Banerjee, supported an eviction order against the people renting a property in Ram Chander Basti, Nangal Raya, Delhi. The landlord, Ram Kumar, wanted the property for his daughter to use, and the court found that the tenants didn't have a good reason to stay.
Ram Kumar asked the court to allow him to evict the tenants under the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958. He said he needed the property for his unmarried daughter to live in and start a boutique. The property is in Ram Chander Basti, Nangal Raya, Delhi.
"The landlord genuinely needed the property for his unmarried daughter to live in."
The tenants, represented by Mr. R.K. Jain and Mr. Rajesh Yadav, tried to fight the eviction. They admitted they were renting from Ram Kumar but questioned whether he really needed the property. They said Ram Kumar had other places to live and that his children had jobs.
"Tenants argued the landlord's need was not genuine."
On July 30, 2025, the Senior Civil Judge and Rent Controller rejected the tenants' attempt to stop the eviction. The court found Ram Kumar's need to be real and noted that the tenants couldn't show that other places were available for him.
"The tenants could not present any real issue to the judge."
The tenants tried to appeal the decision, but Justice Saurabh Banerjee confirmed the eviction order. The judge pointed out that the tenants didn't have strong evidence and that Ram Kumar had the right to choose a suitable place for his daughter.
"The process followed was a quick and straightforward one."
The court rejected the tenants' request, supporting Ram Kumar's claim. This case shows how important it is to have strong evidence when trying to fight an eviction under the Delhi Rent Control Act.
