M S ZAHED vs K RAGHAVAN

The Supreme Court addressed an appeal under Article 136 concerning a landlord-tenant dispute under Section 21(1)(h) of the Karnataka Rent Control Act, 1961. The Court held that the landlord must demonstrate a bona fide requirement for the premises, which was not sufficiently established in this case as the landlord already possessed substantial accommodation. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision in favor of the tenant.
