PREM CHAND vs DISTRICT JUDGE, DEHRADUN & ANR.

The Supreme Court upheld the application of the respondent under Section 21 of the U.P. Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972, for eviction of the appellant on the grounds of bona fide personal requirement. The Court clarified that the presence of a tenant conducting business in a residential building does not change its classification to non-residential. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to reject the appellant's writ petition.
