Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the lower courts regarding the eviction of tenants under Section 12(1)(h) of the M.P. Accommodation Control Act, 1961, based on the landlords' bona fide requirement for rebuilding. The Court noted that the landlords failed to offer the rebuilt premises for reoccupation within the stipulated time, leading to the tenants' successful claim for restoration of possession and compensation. The Court ultimately facilitated a settlement where the tenants accepted alternative shops offered by the landlords, concluding the major controversy.
