Judgment text excerpt
The Court examined whether a landlord can seek eviction of a tenant under Section 13(3)(a)(ii) of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, for the purpose of establishing an office for his son who is a chartered accountant. The core legal issue is whether the requirement of the landlord's son constitutes the 'own use' of the landlord. The case analyzes the interpretation of the statutory grounds for eviction in non-residential premises.
