2026 INSC 376
📌 Paras 2-5
The appellant, an heir of a landlord, sought eviction of a sub-tenant from a room based on bonafide need for the landlord's widow. The Trial Court decreed eviction, finding bonafide need and greater hardship to the landlord. The Appellate Court reversed this, holding the need did not survive due to the widow's death. The High Court dismissed the landlord's writ petition, relying on the tenant's affidavit stating another room occupied by the landlord was let out, implying no bonafide need, and noting the landlord's failure to file a rejoinder. The present appeal arises from this dismissal.
