KUNHAMMA @ LAKSHMI AMMAS CHILDREN vs AKKALI PURUSHOTHAMAN .

The Supreme Court upheld the Rent Controller's decision to eject the tenant under Sections 11(2) and 11(3) of the Kerala Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1965, confirming that the tenant was in arrears of rent and that the landlords required the premises for personal use and to facilitate necessary demolition for access. The Court found that the tenant's claims of dependency on the premises for income were unsubstantiated, and the landlords' need for the property was bona fide. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the eviction order.
