Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the applicability of Section 13(1)(l) of the Bombay Rents, Hotels and Lodging House Rates Control Act, 1947, in a case where a tenant's sons built a house. The Court held that the first respondent, despite her sons constructing a two-storeyed building, did not have a suitable alternate accommodation as it was not owned by her. The High Court's decision to set aside the eviction order was upheld, establishing that mere construction of a house by family members does not confer tenancy rights to the tenant in that property.
