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 despite the tenant's claims. The Court clarified that the amendments made to the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction (Extension to Chandigarh) Act, 1974, do not preclude such eviction. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the revision petition was dismissed, reinforcing the Rent Controller's decision.
