KANDASWAMY vs BD.OF MANAGEMENT,H.S.I.SAID MOSQUE

The Supreme Court interpreted Section 21(1)(i) of the Karnataka Rent Control Act, 1961, determining that prior approval from a local authority for construction is not a condition precedent for filing an eviction application. The Court held that it suffices if such approval is presented before the eviction decree is issued. Consequently, the High Court's order allowing eviction was upheld, reversing the trial court's dismissal of the landlord's petition.
