SMT. JAHEJO DEVI & ORS. A vs MOHARAM ALI

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in interfering with the concurrent findings of fact by the trial and first appellate courts regarding the tenant's default in rent payment and the landlord's bona fide need under Section 12(1) of the Bihar Buildings (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control Act, 1977. The Court found that the tenant was a habitual defaulter and had sent rent to an incorrect address, thus invalidating the tender. The landlords' need for the shop was established as reasonable and bona fide, justifying eviction.
