1992 Supreme(Del) 375

J.K.MEHRA
T. D. DHINGRA – Appellant
Versus
PRITAM RAI KHANNA – Respondent


Advocates Appeared:
P.K.JAIN, P.P.Ahuja

J. K. Mehra

( 1 ) THE main grievance against the impugned order is that the respondent, who is admittedly owner and landlord of the premises in dispute, had taken British Citizenship and on his return to India has not surrendered that citizenship and applied for Indian citizenship, as such it could not be presumed that he is likely to acquire the premises for his personal bonaide requirement since he is not likely to stay in India for a long time. The other contention against the impugned order is that the respondent had reasonably suitable alternative accommodation available to him for residence inasmuch as he owns another property i. e. half of 15/16westpatelnagar, New Delhi.

( 2 ) I have gone through the impugned order and find that both the points have been duly dealt with by the Trial Court. Counsel has not been able to point out any provision of law whereby an Indian who had acquired foreign citizenship is disentitled to enjoy residence in his own property in India when he chooses to return to India. The possport of the respondent was brought in the Court which shows that ever since 1988 he has been staying in India and even in 1991 his visa was extended upto the year 1994.
