Judgment text excerpt
The appellant landlord sought eviction of a tenant under the A.P. Buildings (Lease, Rent & Eviction) Control Act, 1960, on the grounds of bonafide requirement for commencing a business. The primary dispute concerned whether the tenancy encompassed only the land or the land along with the wooden structure situated thereon. While the Controller determined that the tenancy included the structure and rejected the tenant's claim of ownership, the landlord's claim for bonafide requirement was not established.
