Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's second appeal regarding eviction under Section 12(1)(f) of the Madhya Pradesh Accommodation Control Act, 1961. The Court affirmed that the bona fide requirement of the landlord must be assessed as of the date of filing the suit, and the landlord had established this requirement for his son despite the appellant's claims. The Court ruled that technicalities raised by the tenant should not obstruct the landlord's bona fide need, thereby affirming the eviction order.
