Kanniammal vs Chellaram

The Supreme Court held that the applicability of Section 10(3)(c) of the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960 excludes the use of Section 10(3)(a)(iii) for eviction when the landlord occupies part of the building. The Court found that the landlady's bona fide need for the premises for her son's business was established, but the High Court's ruling that the eviction petition was not maintainable under Section 10(3)(a)(iii) was upheld. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
