Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the eviction of the tenant under Section 5(1)(c) of the Assam Urban Areas Rent Control Act, 1972, confirming the findings of the Trial Court and Appellate Court regarding the landlord's bona fide requirement for personal occupation. The Court reiterated the principles regarding subsequent events, stating that while the rights of parties crystallize at the commencement of the suit, courts may consider subsequent events if they meet specific criteria, including prompt notice to the opposite party. The applications presented by the tenant were found to be insufficient to alter the eviction decree.
