Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court, in its revisional jurisdiction, cannot re-evaluate evidence or substitute findings of fact unless they are perverse, as established in prior rulings. In this case, the High Court's reversal of the appellate court's finding on bona fide need was deemed legally impermissible. Consequently, the Court allowed the civil appeal, restored the appellate court's order granting eviction, and provided the respondent until December 31, 2009, to vacate the premises.
