Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the eviction order under Section 14(1)(e) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, affirming the High Court's dismissal of the revision petition. The Court established that the landlady's claim of bona fide requirement for her son to run a business was valid, as the Additional Rent Controller found no suitable alternative accommodation available. The Court held that the landlady and her son have the discretion to choose the most appropriate premises for their business needs, thus dismissing the appellant's contentions regarding alternative accommodations.
