Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the eviction order under Section 14(i)(b) of the Tamilnadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960, confirming that the landlord required the premises for demolition and reconstruction. The Court found that the High Court erred in setting aside the eviction order, as it did not demonstrate that the concurrent findings of the Small Causes Court and Rent Control Appellate Authority were perverse or legally flawed. The appeal was allowed, restoring the eviction order and granting the appellant time until December 31, 2009, to vacate the premises.
