Judgment text excerpt
The appellant, a tenant of two shop rooms, challenged eviction petitions filed by the respondent-landlord under the Kerala Building (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1965. The landlord sought eviction based on rent arrears, material damage, and bonafide requirement for additional business accommodation. While the trial court rejected the grounds of rent arrears and damage, it upheld the claim for bonafide requirement for the landlord's construction firm.
