casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Machine Tools (India) Ltd. v. Lata Mehta The Supreme Court dismissed Machine Tools (India) Ltd.'s appeal challenging an eviction order under the Delhi Rent Control Act. The landlord (Lata Mehta) successfully proved her bona fide requirement to occupy the premises after her husband's retirement, with evidence corroborating their intention to relocate to Delhi where they had family ties. The Court found no perversity in the lower courts' findings and rejected the tenant's argument that the split tenancies rendered the eviction petition unmaintainable. The tenant was granted until May 31, 2001 to vacate, with monthly rent of Rs.15,000 payable in advance, subject to an undertaking. Costs of Rs.10,000 were awarded against the appellant.
