Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Appellate Authority erred in reversing the Rent Controller's finding of bona fide personal necessity under Section 13 of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949. The Court restored the Rent Controller's order for ejectment, emphasizing the cogent evidence supporting the landlady's claim. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's judgment was set aside, granting the tenant two years to vacate the premises upon filing an undertaking.
