Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the eviction of a tenant under Section 12(f) of the Madhya Pradesh Accommodation Control Act, 1961, confirming that the landlord required the premises bona fide for expanding a girls' school. The Court clarified that the landlord's intention to reconstruct the building does not negate the bona fide requirement for occupation. The High Court's interpretation of the sanctioned plan was deemed incorrect, as it mischaracterized the landlord's intentions regarding the construction of shops. The eviction order was thus affirmed.
