KIZHAKKAYIL SUHARA vs MANHANTAVIDE ABOOBACKER(D) BY LRS.&ANR.

The Supreme Court upheld the eviction order under Section 11(3) of the Kerala Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1965, affirming that a landlord can seek possession if they bona fide need the premises for their own occupation or for a dependent family member. The Court emphasized that the need must be genuine and that the landlord's family member must be shown to be dependent. The appeal by the tenants was dismissed, confirming the lower courts' findings of bona fide need.
