Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under The Bihar Building (Lease, Rent & Eviction) Control Act, 1982, specifically Section 11, the grounds for eviction include default in rent payment, reasonable personal requirement, and damage to the premises. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to allow eviction based on the plaintiffs' title, emphasizing that the question of title can be considered in eviction proceedings. The appeal by the defendant was dismissed, upholding the High Court's remand for further proceedings regarding the title of the parties.
