Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's interference in the tenant's eviction case was improper as it set aside the concurrent findings of fact regarding the landlord's bona fide requirement for the premises. The Court emphasized that under Section 100 CPC, the High Court's jurisdiction is limited to substantial questions of law, which must be formulated at the outset. The appeal was allowed, reaffirming the trial court's dismissal of the eviction suit based on the lack of genuine need by the landlord.
