MUKESH KUMAR vs S.KULDEEP SINGH

The Supreme Court examined the validity of eviction under Section 13-B of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, in a case where the landlord sought eviction of a tenant for business purposes. The court analyzed whether the landlord's intention to do business in the premises justified eviction and whether the tenant's continued occupation was lawful. The court emphasized the importance of the landlord's bona fide need and the statutory provisions governing eviction. Ultimately, the court upheld the eviction order, affirming the landlord's right to seek eviction for business purposes under the Act.
