1. This is tenants petition against whom the ejectment application was dismissed by the Rent Controller, but allowed in appeal.

2. Indirawati, wife of Mehar Chand, the landlady and the owner of the ground floor, i.e., the demised premises, sought the ejectment of the tenants, who are the heirs and the legal representatives of the original tenant, Charan Dass, since deceased. The building is a four storeyed house situated in Mohalla Misran, Hoshiarpur. Only the ground floor thereof was let out to the tenant which was purchased by the landlady from the original owner and the landlord on March 25, 1977. The other portions of the said building i.e., the first and the second floor etc. were also purchased by Amrit Lal, the son of the landlady by a separate sale deed. The ejectment of the tenants was sought primarily on the ground that she bona fide required the premises for her own use and occupation. It was pleaded that previously her husband was in occupation of the residential house situated in Gali No. 18, Kamalpur, Hoshiarpur and she was residing with him there. However, the landlord of the said house got the same vacated and consequently, she purchased the demised premises
