GULAB CHAND PUKHRAJ vs R.B. JINENDER RAJ

The Supreme Court addressed whether a co-owner of non-residential premises can seek eviction of a tenant from another non-residential premises under Section 10(3)(a)(iii) of the A.P. Buildings (Lease, Rent & Eviction) Control Act, 1960. The Court held that a co-owner can seek eviction for bona fide requirements even if they possess another non-residential property, thereby overruling the High Court's reliance on the Full Bench decision in Vidya Bai v. Shankerlal. The appeal was allowed, and the order of the First Appellate Court was upheld, permitting the landlords to evict the tenant for their business needs.
