JAI PRAKASH GUPTA (D) THR.LRS. vs RIYAZ AHAMAD

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the application for release of a shop under Section 21(1)(a) of the U.P. Act No. 13 of 1972, where the landlord sought the shop for his son's Chartered Accountancy office. The High Court had remanded the case to consider the landlord's bonafide requirement and comparative hardship. The Supreme Court held that the landlord's need was established, and the tenant's hardship was minimal, thus allowing the appeal and reinstating the Additional District Judge's order for release.
