New Delhi, Jan 7 (IANS) The Supreme Court has set aside an Uttarakhand High Court order which said that “greater comparative hardship” would be caused to a tenant, as compared to his landlord, if a decree of eviction was passed against him.

The apex bench of Justice Aftab Alam and Justice R.P. Desai, in a recent judgment, described as erroneous the Sep 12, 2005 verdict of the high court.
