SREE BALAJI KRISHNA HARDWARE STORES vs SRINIVASAIAH

The Supreme Court upheld the eviction order under the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease & Rent Control) Act, 1960, confirming the landlord's bonafide requirement for the premises for his son's business. The Court found that the tenant's claims regarding the availability of other tenanted portions were insufficient, as the landlord's sons were engaged in a partnership business and the other vacant shops were unsuitable for their needs. The Court emphasized that the landlord's entitlement to sue for possession was valid despite the tenant's objections regarding the non-availability of other shops.
