DUGGI VEERA VENKATA GOPALA SATYANARAYANA vs SAKALA VEERA RAGHAVAIAH & ANR.

The Supreme Court upheld the eviction order under Section 10(3)(a)(iii) of the Andhra Pradesh Buildings (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control Act, 1960, confirming that landlords must plead and prove bona fide requirements for non-residential purposes. The Court found that the appellant-tenant's argument regarding lack of pleading was raised too late, as it was not presented in earlier proceedings. The Court emphasized that the respondents had established their need for the shop-room for starting a business, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
