Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the judgment of the Appellate Authority under the U.P. Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972, specifically Section 21(1)(a), which allows for eviction on the grounds of bona fide requirement. The Court found that the Appellate Authority correctly reversed the Trial Court's dismissal of the eviction application, establishing that the landlord had a legitimate need for the premises for her grandson's business. The Court emphasized the importance of proving the bona fide requirement and the landlord's entitlement to additional business premises.
