Pushkar Singh vs Ansuiya

The Supreme Court held that under Section 14(1)(e) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, the bona fide requirement of the landlord must be assessed without disregarding the suitability of alternative accommodation. The Court found that the High Court erred in concluding that the landlord's need was not bona fide solely because an alternative property was owned by his wife. The Court reinstated the order of the Additional Rent Controller, affirming the landlord's right to evict the tenant based on genuine need for residential space for his family.
