GULRAJ SINGH GREWAL vs DR. HARBANS SINGH AND ANR.

The Supreme Court held that under the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1948, Section 13(3)(a)(i)(a) allows eviction for personal need, and that 'scheduled building' as defined in Section 2(h) is considered a type of 'residential building'. The Court found that the amendment history of the Act does not preclude eviction on personal need grounds for scheduled buildings. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' findings on personal need and change of user as valid grounds for eviction.
