Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the eviction of the petitioner under Section 11(1)(e) of the Bihar Building (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control Act, 1982, confirming that a valid lease for a specified period existed and had expired. The Court found that the petitioner admitted to a fixed-term tenancy of five years, which was extended by mutual consent, thus negating his argument against the validity of the lease. The Court held that the landlord was entitled to evict the tenant as the conditions for eviction under the statute were satisfied.
