( 1 ) THIS is a revision petition preferred by the original tenant being aggrieved by the judgment and order passed by the Principal Subordinate Judge, Tenali dated 1-12-1995 passed on his file in R. C. A. No. 23 of 1987, by which, the judgment and order of the Rent Controller, Tenali, dated 20-11-1987 passed in R. C. C. No. 24 of 1985 has been set aside by directing the eviction of the petitioner. The learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the judgment of the lower appellate Court was liable to be set aside on the ground that the lower Court misdirected itself while allowing the appeal. He submitted that the Rent Controller has rightly dismissed the eviction petition filed by the respondent-landlord by holding that the respondent/landlord has not proved his bona fide requirement and also the wilful default. On the other hand the learned Counsel for the respondent strenuously supported the order of the lower appellate Court. In order to appreciate the rival contentions on both sides I have to note, summarily, the few admitted facts of the case.

( 2 ) IT is an admitted fact that the petitioner/tenant filed a suit in O. S. No. 321 of 1983 allegin
