Since the respondents against whom the award has been passed did not file any cross-appeal or cross-objection it can be assumed that they do not seriously challenge the finding that Govind Bhai Patel died in the accident caused by rash and negligent driving. That the deceased was being carried as a passenger in jeep-taxi No. CPT1084 from Dhamtari to Raipur is not in dispute. That the said jeep met with an accident with the truck No. MPS 608 in which Govind Bhai Patel and one Jaikishan died, is also not in dispute. The accident took place because of negligent...

Court: Madhya Pradesh

Decided on: Sep-22-1989

Reported in: 1990MPLJ445

R.C. Lahoti, J.1. 'While the Rent Control Legislation has given a number of facilities to the tenants it should not be construed so as to destroy the limited relief which it seeks to give the landlord also. For instance one of the grounds for eviction which is contained in almost all the Rent Control Acts in the country is the question of landlord's bona fide personal necessity. The concept of bona fide necessity should be meaningfully construed so as to make the relief granted to the landlord real and practical'. Kewal Singh v. Lajwanti, AIR 1980 SC 161. In context with Delhi Rent Control Act, the Apex Court observed - 'this is a beneficial legislation, beneficial to both the landlord and the tenant. It protects the tenant against unreasonable eviction and exorbitant rent. It also ensures certain limited rights to the landlord to recover possession on stated contingencies.' Ganpat Ram v. Gayatri Devi, AIR 1987 SC 2016. 'Tenants in all cases are not the weaker sections. There are those...
