MATTULAL vs RADHE LAL

The Supreme Court held that under Section 12(1)(f) of the Madhya Pradesh Accommodation Control Act, 1961, the bona fide requirement of a landlord for eviction must be established with sufficient proof. The Court found that the High Court erred in reversing the First Appellate Court's finding that the landlord did not bona fide require the premises for starting a new business, as this was a question of fact. The Court upheld the First Appellate Court's decision, emphasizing the need for concrete evidence of the landlord's preparations to start the business.
