In Brief
A tenant challenged the High Court's dismissal of his revision petition against orders for eviction passed by the Rent Controller and Appellate Authority. All three forums had found that the respondents had a bonafide requirement for the property and had validly become its owners. The Supreme Court upheld the concurrent findings, holding that absent demonstrated perversity, such concurrent determinations by multiple forums should not be disturbed. The appeal was dismissed, but the tenant was granted time until December 31, 2017, to vacate and hand over peaceful possession to the respondent.
