SUSHILA vs IIND ADDITIONAL DIST.JUDGE BANDA

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 eviction of a tenant based on the landlord's bonafide need. The Court held that the landlady's need to vacate the shop for her son to start a business was genuine, and the appellate court's finding of greater hardship for the tenant was not substantiated. Consequently, the Supreme Court reversed the High Court's dismissal and upheld the trial court's order for eviction, emphasizing the importance of bonafide need in tenancy disputes.
