CHANDRIKA PRASAD (D) THR. LRS. vs UMESH KUMAR VERMA

The Supreme Court held that under Section 14(8) of the Bihar Building (Lease, Rent & Eviction) Control Act, 1982, the High Court improperly re-evaluated evidence to overturn the Trial Court's finding of bona fide need for eviction under Section 11(1)(c). The Court emphasized that the landlords must demonstrate genuine and good faith requirement for the premises, which the High Court failed to substantiate. Consequently, the Supreme Court restored the Trial Court's eviction order, affirming the landlords' entitlement to the premises for their son-in-law's clinic.
