Ambika Savaaria & Ors vs Sanjay Sharma & Ors

The Supreme Court held that under Section 12(1)(e) of the Chhattisgarh Accommodation Control Act, 1961, a plaintiff must establish ownership of the accommodation to succeed in an eviction suit based on bona fide need. The Court found that the High Court erred in its judgment by requiring proof of ownership, as the concurrent findings of the Trial Court and Lower Appellate Court established the plaintiffs' bona fide need for the property. The Supreme Court reversed the High Court's decision, reinstating the eviction decree in favor of the appellants.
