Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the eviction order under Section 14(3)(a)(i) of the Himachal Pradesh Urban Rent Control Act, 1987, affirming that the landlords required the premises for their own use due to inadequate living conditions. The Court emphasized that the landlords' need for accommodation was genuine, as they were living in cramped conditions and had previously vacated a dilapidated rented property. The High Court's decision to set aside the eviction order was reversed, and the landlords were granted relief.
