Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to dismiss the eviction petition filed by the appellant under Section 21(1)(h) of the Karnataka Rent Control Act, 1961, which allows eviction for bona fide personal requirement. The Court found that the appellant failed to prove a reasonable and bona fide need for the premises, as the High Court correctly noted that the appellant had sufficient accommodation available. The Court emphasized that findings of fact by the High Court should not be disturbed unless there is a substantial error in law.
