Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the eviction order under the U.P. Act No. 3 of 1947, confirming that the landlord's bona fide requirement for personal need was established. The Court noted that the tenant's challenge to the eviction was dismissed after a thorough examination of the facts and procedural adherence to the U.P. Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972. The judgment emphasized the importance of the landlord's genuine need over the tenant's rights in eviction proceedings.
