In Brief
Ahmad and Mehr Sattar Ali appealed the High Court's affirmation of eviction orders against them by their landlord. The appellants claimed both they and the landlord were encroachers on government property, so no valid tenancy existed. The Supreme Court upheld the eviction, finding the landlord established ownership through registered sale deeds from 1911-1912, property mutation records, and an account book showing rent collection by his mother. The Court held the appellants failed to prove their own ownership and acted without bona fide intent. The landlord proved genuine need for additional accommodation, meeting eviction requirements.
