Landlord Best Person To Determine Bonafide Use of Rented Property, Not the Tenant : Rajasthan HC

The Rajasthan High Court dismissed the writ petition filed by tenant Rakesh Sen (petitioner) against his eviction from a rented shop. 

The bench upheld the Rent Appellate Tribunal’s order favouring landlord Smt. Ajab Bano (respondent), affirming her bona fide need for the premises to conduct business. 

The Court ruled that the landlord's necessity must be judged from her perspective, not the tenant's. 

Finding no legal infirmity in the Tribunal's decision, the Court rejected the petitioner’s appeal, holding that tenants cannot challenge a landlord’s right to decide the use of their property.
