Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision allowing the landlord's Second Appeal under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure, reversing the First Appellate Court's ruling. The Court emphasized that the landlord's bona fide need for the premises under Section 12(1)(f) of the M.P. Accommodation Control Act, 1961 was valid, despite the tenant's claims of pretext due to rent enhancement. The Court clarified that the determination of bona fide need is a question of fact, and the High Court's re-evaluation of evidence was justified.
