Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the findings of the lower courts regarding the bona fide need of the plaintiffs under Section 12(1)(f) of the Madhya Pradesh Accommodation Control Act, 1961. The Court clarified that the assessment of bona fide need is not limited to the time of filing the eviction application but continues until final adjudication. The appeal by the tenants was dismissed, affirming the necessity for the plaintiffs to regain possession of the premises despite the tenant's claims of changed circumstances.
