The ground of eviction is therefore triggered when a tenant of residential premises acquires vacant possession of another residence, without requiring proof of physical dwelling or subjective intention to reside. The provision also applies where the tenant is a company or other juristic person, because nothing in its language or object excludes such tenants from its scope. On that construction, the appeal failed and the eviction order was sustained with costs. en-us Fri, 05 May 1989 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 12 Dec 2023 10:00:57 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=311181 Under the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, the expression "a residence" in Section 14(1)(h) denotes residential premises rather than actual personal occupation.
