FATIMA BEE vs MAHAMOOD SIDDIQUI

The Supreme Court upheld the orders of the Rent Controller under Section 10(3) of the Andhra Pradesh Buildings (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control Act, 1960, affirming that the appellant, Smt. Fatima Bee, required the suit premises bona fide for her business. The Court found that the tenants' claims of permanent tenancy and agreements for sale were unsubstantiated. Consequently, the High Court's dismissal of the eviction petitions was set aside, allowing the appellant to regain possession of the properties.
