Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the application of Section 21(1)(a) of the U.P. Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972, regarding the bonafide need of the landlady to evict the tenant for her son's business. The Court held that the appellate court erred in reversing the trial court's finding of bonafide need, emphasizing that the landlady's need was more pressing than the tenant's hardship. Consequently, the Supreme Court allowed the appeal and reinstated the trial court's order for eviction.
