A.K.Jain vs Prem Kapoor

The Supreme Court held that under Section 13(3)(a)(i) of the Haryana Urban (Control of Rent & Eviction) Act, 1973, the landlord must establish personal necessity for eviction. The Court found that the High Court erred in dismissing the eviction petition based on insufficient averments, as the appellant's need for the tenanted portion was substantiated by the growing family and the impending retirement. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and reinstated the appellate authority's decision allowing eviction.
