Kannachankandy Chandran & Ors vs Peetikakandy Achuthan & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in reversing the findings of the Rent Control Appellate Authority regarding eviction under Sections 11(2)(b), 11(4)(i), and 11(4)(iii) of the Kerala Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1965. The Court established that the tenant's acquisition of another building suitable for business constituted sufficient grounds for eviction. Consequently, the Supreme Court allowed the appeal, restoring the eviction order previously granted by the Rent Control Appellate Authority.
