Case Summary: Akhileshwar Kumar v. Mustaqim (C.A. 3226/1999) The Supreme Court allowed the landlords' appeal and restored the trial court's eviction decree under the Bihar Buildings (Lease, Rent & Eviction) Control Act, 1982. The Court found that Plaintiff No.1, an educated unemployed person, genuinely required the leased shop premises to start an independent retail business, satisfying the bona fide requirement ground for eviction. The Court rejected the High Court's reasoning that alternative accommodations were available, holding that once genuine need is established, the tenant's choice of suitable accommodation cannot be overridden by the court.
