Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that under Section 12(1)(f) of the Madhya Pradesh Accommodation Control Act, 1961, a plaintiff must prove ownership of the property for eviction on grounds of personal necessity. The Court clarified that the High Court has jurisdiction to set aside findings of fact if a substantial question of law arises due to the lower courts' failure to consider relevant evidence. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to reverse the lower courts' findings despite the absence of the partition deed, as the tenant had acknowledged the plaintiff's title in other documents.
