Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of ejectment under the Bombay Rents, Hotel and Lodging House Rates Control Act, 1947, specifically citing Section 13(1)(g) regarding the landlord's bona fide need and Section 13(3)(a) concerning default in payment of dues. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to stay the execution of the ejectment decree, contingent upon the appellant depositing a specified monthly amount, which was deemed reasonable compared to the market rent. The judgment emphasizes the balance between landlord and tenant interests in ejectment cases, establishing that interim orders can require tenants to pay amounts reflective of market rates while ensuring fairness in the process.
