Maharashtra Rent Control Act, Section 10(1) | Judicial Admissions + Photographic Evidence Suffice for Eviction Over Permanent Alterations : Bombay HC

The Bombay High Court ruled that landlords need not produce sanctioned plans to evict tenants for unauthorized permanent alterations-admissions during cross-examination and photographic proof are sufficient to establish breach of tenancy terms. This clarifies the evidentiary standard for eviction cases under rent control laws, empowering landlords to act decisively against structural violations without costly documentation.
