Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's directive that the landlord must provide alternative accommodation to the tenants, as per the offer made during the proceedings. The Court confirmed that the landlord had established a bona fide requirement for eviction under Section 21(1) of the Act, and the appellate authority's findings were affirmed. The High Court's order mandated a simultaneous exchange of possession between the landlord and tenants, ensuring that the tenants would not be evicted until the alternative accommodation was provided.
