Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under Section 21(1)(a) of the U.P. Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972, the landlord's requirement for eviction must exist throughout the litigation. The Court found that the creation of a Trust during the appeal process negated the landlord's claim for personal necessity, as the Trust's income would not benefit her directly. Consequently, the eviction petition was dismissed, affirming the appellate authority's decision to reject the landlord's application for eviction.
