Ashok Kumar vs Ved Parkash & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of eviction under the Haryana Urban (Control of Rent and Eviction) Act, 1973, specifically examining whether a landlord can evict a tenant from non-residential premises on the grounds of bonafide requirement. The Court held that the provisions of Section 13 of the Act, which primarily concern residential buildings, do not extend to non-residential premises, thus allowing the landlord's claim for eviction based on bonafide requirement. The appeal by the tenant was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions favoring the landlord.
