Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the eviction of the Goa Urban Coop. Bank Ltd. under Section 22(2)(b)(ii) and Section 23(b) of the Goa, Daman & Diu Buildings (Lease, Rent & Eviction) Control Act, 1968, establishing that a tenant's change of use from office to storage without landlord consent constitutes a breach of lease terms. The Court held that the landlord's right to reclaim possession for personal use was valid, and the tenant's refusal to vacate was unjustified, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
