Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the eviction of a tenant under the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, affirming that a landlord can seek eviction on the grounds of bona fide requirement as per the provisions of the Act. The Court clarified that the amendments made to the Act in 1982 did not eliminate the landlord's right to seek eviction for personal use. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the revision petition was dismissed, thereby affirming the lower courts' decisions.
