Delhi High Court Rejects Tenant’s Objections as Advocates Seek Law Office Premises

In a Delhi High Court hearing, two practising advocates sought possession of a rented property to establish a law office. The tenant contested the eviction, arguing that the landlords had altered their stated purpose and possessed alternative premises suitable for their practice. Despite filing a leave‑to‑defend application, the court dismissed the tenant’s objections, allowing the eviction to proceed. The decision underscores the court’s willingness to uphold landlords’ claims when they present a legitimate business need, while also highlighting the limited scope for tenants to contest changes in a landlord’s intended use of the property.
