S. Sanyal vs Gian Chand on 14 September, 1967

(12) An instructive case arose under the Delhi and Ajmer Rent Control Act, 38 of 1952 where the definition of the premises was similar. The landlord had instituted a suit for eviction against the tenant on the ground of bona fide personal necessity. The eviction could be ordered only in respect of residential premises. 'The courts of fact found that one part of the tenanted premises was being used for residential and the other part for non-residential purposes. The High Court ordered the eviction only from the residential portion of the premises. On appeal by special leave, the Supreme Court in Miss S. Sanyal v. Gian Chand, , reversed the order of the High Court and in this context observed :- "THEjurisdiction of the court may be exercised under section 13(1)(e) only when the promises are let for residential purposes and not when the premises being let for composite purposes, are used in specific portions for purposes residential and non-residential. The contract of tenancy is a single and indivisible contract, and in; the absence of any statutory provision to the effect it is not open to the court to divide it into two contracts-one of letting for residential purposes and the other for non-residential purposes, and to grant relief to the landlord under section 13(1)(e) limited to the portion of the demised property which is being used for residential purposes."
