GANTUSA H. BADDI (DEAD) BY LRS. vs MEERABAI G. PAI

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of Section 21(1)(a), (h), and (p) of the Karnataka Rent Control Act in a case concerning the eviction of a tenant after his death. The Court upheld the High Court's decision that the tenancy for non-residential premises is not heritable, referencing the case of Venkatesh Thimmaiah Gurjalkar vs. S.S. Hawaldar. The Court concluded that the landlord's grounds for eviction under Section 21(1)(p) were valid due to the tenant's acquisition of an alternative premise, affirming the eviction order.
