Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined appeals under the Bihar Buildings (Lease, Rent & Eviction) Control Act, 1947, specifically addressing Section 11(1)(c) and (d) concerning eviction grounds. The Court held that the High Court's reversal of the 1st Appellate Court's findings on non-payment of rent and reasonable personal requirement was erroneous, emphasizing that the tenants' claim of valid rent tender was not substantiated. Consequently, the Court allowed the landlords' appeal, affirming their entitlement to eviction based on the established grounds.
