PREM CHAND ALIAS PREM NATH vs SMT. SHANTA PRABHAKAR

The Supreme Court addressed the eviction petition under Section 14(3)(c) of the Himachal Pradesh Urban Rent Control Act, 1987, where the landlord sought eviction based on bona fide requirement for building/re-building. The Court upheld the Appellate Authority's decision, which reversed the Rent Controller's dismissal of the eviction petition, clarifying that the condition of the building was not a relevant factor under the Himachal Pradesh Act. The Court concluded that the Appellate Authority correctly interpreted the Act, allowing the eviction of the tenant.
