Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals under the Bihar Buildings (Lease, Rent & Eviction) Control Act, 1947, concerning eviction proceedings initiated by landlords Bajorias against tenant Burmans for non-payment of rent and personal requirement. The Court held that the High Court's remand for further consideration of rent default was appropriate, while also affirming the High Court's findings against the landlords on both grounds of eviction. The judgment clarified the standards for establishing reasonable personal requirement and the implications of non-payment of rent under Section 11 of the Act.
