IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS
Mr. P.V. Rajamannar, Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Chandra Reddi, JJ.
R. Venkatesachary
Versus
The Judge, Court of Small Causes, Madras
C.M.P. No. 3985 of 1949.
Decided On : 13 October 1949
Act Referred
V.V. Devanathan for Petitioners.
G. Chandrasekhara Sastri and G. Venkatesayya for 2nd Respondent.
There is no error of jurisdiction or an apparent error of law on the face of the record. The appellate tribunal has found that the landlord required the entire house for his occupation. Though the definition of a building in the Act includes a portion of a building, it does not mean that the owner of a house, portions of which have been let separately, cannot file an application for obtaining possession of the entire house as a building. What is sufficient for the landlord is not the real question, but whether he requires the entire building bona fide for his occupation. The finding that he requires it in this case is a finding of fact. The application is therefore dismissed with costs.
K.S. ----- Petition dismissed.
