Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under Section 10 of the Andhra Pradesh Buildings (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control Act, 1960, the concurrent findings of the Rent Controller and the Appellate Authority regarding the landlady's bona fide requirement for eviction were disturbed erroneously by the High Court. The Court emphasized that the High Court should not interfere with concurrent findings of fact unless there is a substantial error. The eviction order was reinstated, affirming the landlady's need for the premises for her children's education.
