Kusum Devi vs Mohan Lal (Dead) By Lrs

The Supreme Court held that under Section 12(1)(e) and (g) of the Madhya Pradesh Accommodation Control Act, 1961, a landlord can seek eviction on grounds of bona fide need for residential purposes and for carrying out repairs. The Court found that the High Court erred in ruling that both grounds could not be combined in a single eviction suit, thus reinstating the trial court's decree for eviction. The Court emphasized that the landlord's need for accommodation and the necessity for repairs are valid grounds for eviction under the Act.
