Judgment text excerpt
The case involves a Title Eviction Suit filed by a landlord seeking possession of a ground-floor flat on the grounds of personal necessity. The appellant claimed the premises were required for her own occupation as she was residing in her son's house and needed a residence contiguous to her ancestral property. The court examines whether the landlord successfully proved a bona fide requirement for the premises to justify eviction of the tenant.
