Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the eviction order under Section 13A(1)(i)(A)(ii) of the Bombay Rents, Hotel and Lodging House Rates Control Act, 1947, affirming that the appellant, as a holder of a scientific post at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, had a bona fide need for the premises. The Court found that the appellant was indeed the owner of Flat No.3 and that her claim for eviction was justified due to her inability to continue living with her brother's family. The High Court's decision reversing the eviction order was set aside, allowing the appellant's appeal.
