Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the findings of the lower courts regarding the bona fide need of the landlord under Section 12(1)(f) of the MP Accommodation Control Act, 1961. The Court established that while past conduct of the landlord is relevant, it cannot solely determine the current bona fide need, especially after a significant time lapse. The High Court's conclusion that the landlord's need had changed due to his son's coming of age was affirmed, leading to the conclusion that the lower courts' findings were perverse and not supported by the present circumstances.
