Tenants constructed two extra floors in rented property without consent; landlord wins eviction case in high court due to this reason

Tenants who illegally constructed two additional floors on a rented property in Shimla have been ordered to demolish them by the Himachal Pradesh High Court. The court ruled that rent payment does not confer ownership rights, and unauthorized construction without landlord or municipal permission is illegal. The landlords successfully proved their ownership and the tenants' violation of building norms.
