KAMLESHWAR PRASAD vs PRADUMANJI AGARWAL (DEAD) BY LRS — C.A. No. 2576/1997

Summary The Supreme Court dismissed the tenant's appeal against eviction under the U.P. Tenancy Act. Although the original landlord died during the High Court proceedings, the Court held that the crucial date for determining bona fide requirement is when the eviction application was filed, not later events. The Court reasoned the landlord's need for the premises for a cloth business was established and could be carried on by his legal heirs, so the eviction order remained valid.
