Judgment text excerpt
The case concerns an appeal against the judgment of the Patna High Court regarding the eviction of tenants under the Bihar Buildings (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control Act, 1982. The respondents sought eviction based on the grounds of bona fide personal necessity and default in the payment of rent. The trial court and the first appellate court had previously decreed the suit in favor of the landlords, and the matter reached the Supreme Court following the dismissal of the Second Appeal and Review Petition by the High Court.
