Manoj Kumar vs Bihari Lal (Dead) By Lrs

The Supreme Court held that under Section 14(1)(e) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, the landlord must demonstrate bona fide requirement for eviction, which was not sufficiently contested by the appellant. The Court affirmed the Additional Rent Controller's decision to deny leave to contest the eviction petition under Section 25(B), as the appellant failed to present any triable issues. Consequently, the eviction order was upheld, confirming the landlord's right to reclaim possession of the property.
