UMED SINGH vs ARYA SAMAJ SEWA SADAN

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of 'for his own use and occupation' under Section 13(3)(a)(i) of the Haryana Urban (Control of Rent) & Eviction Act, 1973, in the context of a corporate body. The Court held that the expression must be interpreted in a broader sense, allowing for the bona fide requirement of a corporate entity for non-residential purposes, such as starting a library. The Court ultimately upheld the eviction order against Umed Singh, affirming the need for clarity in the application of the statute's provisions.
