Headnote:
Civil Procedure Code , 1908 - Section 100 - Specific Relief Act, 1967 - Rajasthan Premises Act, 1950 - Section 13 - Suit for eviction filed by plaintiff-landlord inter alia on ground of default and bona fide need of landlord - Whether in view of issue having been decided in favour of defendant about conditional sale, courts below were justified in refusing decree for eviction on ground of bona fide necessity - Whether in absence of any pleading about bona fide necessity, suit for eviction can be decreed in favour of plaintiff – Held , Coming to merits of present case under rent control and eviction grounds, this Court finds perversity in impugned orders passed by learned courts below, writ large - Rent note itself executed way back on for Rs. 40/- per month stipulated that whenever suit premises are needed by landlord, tenant would give vacant possession of same to landlord - In face of these terms, once landlord comes to Court and pleads that suit house is required for his personal purposes or purposes of his family, and reiterates those averments in witness box before learned trial court, nothing more, as a matter of fact, remains to be done by him, and eviction decree is liable to be granted, on such grounds of bona fide need established by landlord - In present case, learned courts below have refused decree, finding that since rent note did not contain any stipulation for same, which is factually wrong premise, and that plaintiff did not reiterate his need in evidence led by him, which is also not borne out from statements recorded by learned trial court, which, as quoted in memo of appeal, are also quoted again here, for ready reference - Appeal allowed
