HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR
UMA SHANKER VYAS, J.
Suresh Chand Yadav, S/o Shri Babu Lal Yadav - Appellant
Versus
Shri Chhotu Lal Soni, S/o Shri Chunni Lal Saoni - Respondent
S.B. Civil First Appeal No. 121 OF 2015
Decided On : 20-11-2025

Advocates Appeared:
For the Appellant : Mr. M. M. Ranjan, Sr. Adv. With Mr. Lokesh Tiwari, Adv., Mr. Samar Pratap Singh Naruka, Adv.
For the Respondent: Mr. Rahul Patni, Adv.

The court confirmed that non-payment of rent constitutes valid grounds for eviction under the Rajasthan Rent Control Act, reinforcing landlord rights.

Headnote:(A) Rajasthan Rent Control Act, 2001 - Sections 9 and 20 - Dispute over ground rent and eviction - Tenancy relationship established between the parties, with the court maintaining the contractual rights of the landlord - The tenant failed to pay rent as agreed, fulfilling grounds for eviction under Section 20(2)(a) - Critically points out that a tenant's wrongful possession despite eviction notice constitutes a ground for eviction. (Paras 1, 4, 12)

(B) Eviction - Court reiterates that a duly served notice under Section 9 must precede eviction proceedings - A notice of termination must outline grounds clearly for enforcement to be effective. (Paras 6, 8)

Facts of the case:
The appellant, the landlord, sought eviction of the respondent tenant for non-payment of rent since 2012 despite several demands, which led to the issuance of a notice under Section 9. The tenant denied receipt of notice, but evidence of service indicated otherwise.

Findings of Court:
The court held that the tenant owed rent since the last payment in 2012 and failed to establish a valid basis for denying receipt of the notice, thereby warranting eviction under the Act.

Issues: The primary issues involved determining whether proper notice was given and if grounds for eviction were justifiable under the Act.

Ratio Decidendi: The court leaned on the principles of tenancy law to affirm that non-payment of rent constitutes valid grounds for eviction, reinforcing the authority of landlords in rental agreements, thus preserving the contractual integrity. The notice's service was deemed appropriately executed.

Result: Eviction order upheld in favor of the landlord.
