ANUPINDER SINGH GREWAL
Kapoor Singh – Appellant
Versus
Jang Bahadur – Respondent
JUDGMENT
Mr. Anupinder Singh Grewal, J. (Oral)
The petitioner has challenged the judgments dated 20.05.2019 and 22.03.2023 whereby the Rent Controller has allowed the rent petition preferred by the respondent/landlord for eviction from demised premises on account of bona fide necessity and the appeal filed there against by the petitioner/tenant has been dismissed by the Appellate Authority.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petition for eviction has been erroneously allowed although the respondent/landlord could not make out a case for bona fide necessity.
3. Issue notice to the respondent. Mr. Dheeraj Mahajan, Advocate, who is present in Court, accepts notice on behalf of the respondent and submits that the respondent has been able to prove the case for eviction and the findings of the Courts below do not call for any interference by this Court in exercise of its revisional jurisdiction. He also submits that the respondent/landlord had sought eviction of the ground floor of the shop for using it as garage for his vehicles. He along with his family resides on the first floor while on the second floor, the landlord's brother-Naresh Kumar resides with his family.
The landlord's requirement for eviction should be based on occupation rather than ownership of other properties within the same municipal limits.
The landlord seeking eviction on the ground of personal necessity must not be in occupation of any other property within the same urban area, as per Section 13 of the Act.
Bona fide requirement for eviction is determined by the landlord's genuine need, not dictated by tenant's preferences.
Landlords possess the right to evict tenants based on bona fide personal necessity, which is not undermined by their ownership of other properties deemed unsuitable for their intended use.
