Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in remanding the eviction suit without formulating a substantial question of law as mandated by Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The Court emphasized that the findings of fact regarding the landlord's bona fide personal need were supported by evidence and should not have been set aside. Consequently, the Court allowed the appeal, reinstating the order of eviction against the respondent.
