G. KAUSHALYA DEVI vs GHANSHYAMDAS

The Supreme Court addressed an appeal regarding the eviction of a tenant under the Andhra Pradesh Buildings (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control Act, 1960. The Court upheld the High Court's finding that there was no willful default in rent payment but concurred with the bona fide requirement of the landlord for personal occupation under Section 10(3)(a)(iii) of the Act. The Court ruled that the landlord's need for the premises was legitimate despite his existing occupation of another shop, affirming the eviction order.
