Kuldeep Kumar Dubey & Ors vs Ramesh Chandra Goyal(D) Th Lrs

The Supreme Court addressed the maintainability of a suit filed by heirs of a deceased owner under the Uttar Pradesh Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972. It was held that the description of the appellants as heirs instead of owners was a mere irregularity that did not affect the suit's maintainability. The Court emphasized that the appellants, as beneficiaries of a Will executed by the original owner, had the right to pursue the eviction suit, thus upholding the trial court's decree for eviction against the tenant.
