Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the landlord's eviction application under Clause (a) of Sub-section (1) of Section 21 of the Uttar Pradesh Urban Buildings (Regulation of Lettings, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972, establishing that the landlord failed to prove the bonafide need for the premises as required for starting a computer consultancy. The Court noted that the appellant lacked the financial capacity to establish the business and that no evidence was provided to demonstrate the son's qualifications or intent to run the business. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions.
