Rita Lal vs Raj Kumar Singh

The case concerns an eviction petition filed under Section 14 of the Bihar Buildings (Lease Rent and Eviction) Control Act, 1982, based on grounds of personal requirement and rent default. The tenant sought leave to defend by denying the landlord-tenant relationship, claiming ownership of the property through a registered sale deed. The core legal issue involves the determination of whether a tenant can challenge the landlord's title to avoid eviction proceedings under the Act.
