Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under Article 136 of the Constitution, it can grant special leave to appeal in rent cases where bona fide personal requirements are established. The Court found that the lower courts had failed to properly assess the evidence regarding the landlord's bona fide need, leading to a denial of justice for the tenant. The Court emphasized that the mere concurrence of three courts does not justify perpetuating injustice, and thus allowed the tenant's appeal, overturning the eviction orders.
