DWARKAPRASAD vs NIRANJAN

The Supreme Court held that under the provisions of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, the landlord's bona fide need for eviction must be established, particularly when it involves family members. The Court affirmed the lower courts' findings regarding the landlord's need for half of the premises for his son's business but rejected the claim for the other half for his brothers due to lack of proprietary interest. The appeal was partly allowed, resulting in eviction for 50% of the premises only, thus upholding the High Court's decree.
