Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of 'own occupation' under the relevant tenancy laws, determining that it can include occupation by a family member, specifically the landlord's son. The Court upheld the eviction of the tenant based on the landlord's need for the premises for her unemployed son to start a business, emphasizing the necessity of the premises for the family's livelihood. The judgment clarified that the requirement for personal use extends to family members, thereby affirming the eviction order.
