ORDER

In this appeal, the appellant-tenant challenges the order of the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad in C.M.W.P. No. 1059 of 1999 dated 12.1.1999.

2. The question that arises for consideration is: whether the High Court is right in holding that requirement of notice under the first proviso to clause (a) of sub-section 1 of section 21 of the U.P. Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972, was satisfied.

3. The respondent is the landlady of premises No. 20/189 Chatai Mohal, Kanpur (for short the premises ). She purchased the said premises on May 28, 1985. Immediately thereafter she issued a notice to the appellant to vacate the premises. However, again on June 1, 1991, she issued the second notice. In May 1992, she filed eviction petition No. 8 of 1992 before the prescribed authority under section 21(1)(a) of the said Act, for seeking eviction of the appellant from the premises for her bona fide requirement of personal occupation. The appellant contested the petition denying the bona fide requirement for the respondent and also service of notice under the first proviso to section 21(1) of the said Act. The prescribed authority dismissed the applicatio
