HARRINGTON HOUSE SCHOOL vs S.M. ISPAHANI

The case concerns a tenant's appeal against an eviction order granted under Section 14(1)(d) of the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Control) Act, 1960. The landlords, who are builders, sought possession of the premises for demolition and construction of a multi-storey complex. The legal issue pertains to whether the landlord's requirement for demolition and reconstruction constitutes valid grounds for eviction of a tenant operating a school.
