• Dismissal of eviction case under 14(1)(e)

I am Land Lord of Property for which I Filed a suit for Eviction for bonafide requirement in Senior Civil Judge cum Rent Controller of a shop for residential purposes as my residence and shops are in same property.

 That the property is single story built up building . The ground floor of the property consists of seven rooms out of which four rooms are occupied by the petitioner and his family and are being used for residential purpose . Rest three rooms are used as shop one by Petitioner / Landlord and other two shops by two tenants

That family of petitioner consist of Six persons namely himself, his wife , his unmarried daughter , his son , his daughter in law , two year old granddaughter who are continuously residing with petitioner .and dependent on petitioner for their residential needs. Petitioner Unmarried Daughter is working in Delhi University on Adhoc basis. Petitioner Son Working In a PSU in haryana but doing up and down on daily basis to Delhi.Various Payslips of His son is also file at argument stage showing that there are no house perquisites and house rent recovery by his employer PSU

 That there are only four rooms, one store, one kitchen and toilet /bathroom available with petitioner for his residence . That another room is used by petitioner and his wife .Another room being used by his son , his spouse & child. One room being occupied by his daughter and one room is used as class room for the tuitions. Hence there is paucity of accommodation for having a guest room, a room for his married daughter, a room for granddaughter, drawing cum dining room. 

Now Petition got dismissed on ground that during cross examination petitioner admitted that his son is doing job in haryana and settled there.whereby the fact is He admitted that His son is doing job in Haryana but did not admit that he is settled there.so there are only three members in family now.

Secondly Landlord has not mentioned in petition that he is suffering from Financial crisis hence he can built up rooms on roof.

Lastly the shop asked for residential portion is very small area 8*12 feet. Hence no ground for Paucity of space is there hence need is not bonafide.

Questions :

You should definitely file an appeal against the impugned order as you have definitely shown bonafide need to order eviction.

Even if your son is working in Haryana, he has full rights to have a room in his house even if he is only visiting the house on weekends, therefore, the reason given by the judge that the son was living in haryana and therefore no eviction can be ordered no value in the eyes of law.

The Honorable Delhi High Court has ruled that whenever a landlord seeks ejectment of a tenant for bona fide requirement, it shall be presumed to be genuine and bona fide. Furthermore, the burden to rebut the said presumption lies on the tenant; however, the mere assertion on part of the tenant does not suffice.

Dear concern, the appeal should be filed in the high court of delhi. You still have grounds to prove your bona fide on the basis that .during the cross examination, the judge misinterpreted and analysed the case from a different  paradigm.

Yes you can file appeal with notes of evidence in sessions court. You need to show that the evidence is incorrectly appreciated by lower court and you can file application for retrial If principles of natural justice is not observed by the lower court

- A bench of Justices Kurian Joseph and A.M. Kanwilkar ruled that under the Act, the landlord would need to   establish only a reasonable requirement and it should not be a simple desire.

- Yes , you should file an appeal against the impugned order before the High Court on the ground that the son is working in Haryana but he has not shifted there permanently and the suit property is needed for him and further on the ground of family members as well.

- Further , a tenant cannot dictate terms to the landlord regarding the space and suitability. That samll area can be used for storing purposes by the son as well. 

- You will get relief from Delhi High court.

If  aggrieved by the decision  of the trial  court,  then  the  petitioner may  prefer an appeal against  the judgment.

 

Let him not make the  mistakes that he made  before  the trial court in his appeal.

The appeal will lie before the district and sessions court and the time limit is 30 days from the date of receipt  of the  the  judgment copy from  the trial court.
