Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order for eviction under Section 8(3)(a)(ii) of the Mysore House Rent and Accommodation Control Act, 1951, clarifying that a tenant does not have an absolute right to possession and cannot be deemed 'entitled to possession' if the landlord requires the premises for his own business. The Court found that the appellate court erred in not following the precedent set in Narayanappa v. Narasimhiah, leading to material irregularity. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the eviction order.
