Shamahad Ahmad & Ors vs Tilak Raj Bajaj (D) By Lrs. & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal by landlords against the High Court's reversal of an eviction order under Section 21(1)(a) of the U.P. Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972. The Court held that the landlords failed to establish bona fide requirement for eviction, as the tenant's claims regarding the landlords' wealth and the tenant's long-standing business were credible. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming the tenant's right to continue occupancy.
