ABDULRAHIMAN MASTER – Respondent
1. A tenant filed an application for review of the order passed by District Court in revision under S.20 of the Kerala Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1965 (for short 'the Act'). That application was dismissed by the District Court. Hence the petitioner has come to this Court invoking jurisdiction under Art.227 of the Constitution.
2. Facts are these: A landlord filed an application before the Rent Control Court for an order of eviction of his tenant on different grounds, but the only ground now survives is bona fide need to reconstruct the building as per S.11(4)(ii) of the Act.
