Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the omission of a bona fide requirement for eviction in the notice does not automatically invalidate a landlord's claim for eviction under Section 10(3)(a)(iii) of the Rent Act, provided the grounds for eviction are established in the proceedings. The Court emphasized that non-mention of a reasonable ground raises suspicion but does not preclude eviction if the claim is well-founded. The appeal was allowed, affirming the appellate authority's findings regarding the existence of the partnership business and its relevance to the eviction claim.
