BALDEV KRISHAN vs SATYA NARAIN

The Supreme Court addressed the eviction suit under Section 13(1)(h) of the Rajasthan Premises (Control of Rent and Eviction) Act, 1950, emphasizing the landlord's bona fide need for the premises for personal and family use. The Court upheld the Trial Court's decree favoring the landlord, despite the High Court's unfavorable view on the bona fide requirement, noting that the concurrent findings of fact should not be disturbed. The Court indicated that any variation of the established ratio in Pasupuleti Venkateswarlu v. The Motor & General Traders (1975) 1 SCC 770 must be addressed by a larger bench, thereby reinforcing the precedent's authority.
