According to the landlord, the portion in the occupation of the tenant is a non-residential portion comprised of an asbestos roof and cement flooring wherein the tenant is running a flourmill.

The tenant resisted the application contending that the requirement is not bona fide and that the building does not require demolition and reconstruction. The Rent Controller appointed an Advocate-Commissioner to find out the condition of the building and the Commissioner's report has been exhibited as Exhibit C-t.
