SHIV SINGH CHAK vs BABY JAIN

The Supreme Court upheld the eviction of the tenant under Section 21(1)(a) of the Uttar Pradesh Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972, affirming the concurrent findings of the Prescribed Authority and Appellate Authority regarding the landlord's bona fide need for the shop. The Court rejected the tenant's argument that the High Court erred in applying Explanation (i) of Section 21(1), clarifying that the need for proof of greater hardship does not apply in this case. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the eviction order.
