Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court exceeded its revisional jurisdiction by substituting the findings of fact regarding bona fide need established by the appellate court, which is impermissible unless the findings are perverse. The Court restored the order of eviction granted by the appellate court, emphasizing the limitations of the High Court's powers in revisional matters. The respondent was granted time until December 31, 2009, to vacate the premises, failing which the decree holder could file an execution petition without notice to the respondent.
