RAM NARAYAN SHARMA vs SHAKUNTALA GAUR

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Additional District Judge, which set aside the allotment order in favor of the appellant under the Uttar Pradesh Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972. The Court found that the allotment was invalid due to the lack of notice to all heirs of the deceased landlord, Bankey Lal, specifically noting the absence of participation from other heirs, which violated procedural fairness. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling regarding the bona fide requirement of the landlady.
