PAL SINGH vs SUNDER SINGH (DEAD) BY LRS. & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that under Section 14(1)(e) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, one co-owner can maintain an eviction petition against a tenant if the need is bona fide. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision that the respondent landlord's claim for eviction was justified, as the need for the premises was established. The Court dismissed the appellant's contention regarding the incompetence of the suit due to the absence of other co-owners, thereby upholding the eviction order.
