Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed cross appeals concerning eviction proceedings under Section 21(1)(a) of the Karnataka Rent Control Act. The Court upheld the findings of sub-letting by the original tenant, while rejecting the landlord's claim of bona fide need for personal occupation due to the change in circumstances after the landlord's mother's death. The Court affirmed that the need for the landlord's own occupation required distinct factual inquiries, which were not suitable for revision. The appeal was dismissed, maintaining the High Court's decision.
