    Case Summary: Reg. Civil Appeal No. 49/2017 Court: Principal District Court, Bharuch Date of Judgment: 23 April 2026 Parties: Heirs of Haji Gulamkadar Sheikh Mohammed Pankhwala (Appellants) v. Devuben Jayeshbhai Jadav (Respondent) Decision: The appellate court allowed the appeal, reversing the trial court's dismissal. The appellants (widow and heirs of the original landlord) are entitled to possession of the disputed rented room and arrears of rent at ₹15/month plus 7% interest from the date of suit, with 30 days to vacate. Key Legal Issue: Whether a landlord who purchased property after the tenant was already in occupation could evict the tenant on grounds of "bonafide personal requirement" under the Bombay Rents, Hotels and Lodging House Rates Control Act, 1947. Reasoning: The court held that under Section 13(1)(g) of the Rent Act, a purchaser acquiring property after a tenancy commenced cannot evict on personal requirement grounds—a statutory deeming provision bars such purchasers from being considered "landlords" for eviction purposes.
