HAMEEDA BEGUM Vs. CHAMPA BAI

JUDGEMENT

(1.) LEAVE granted.

(2.) HEARD learned counsel for the parties.

(3.) IT appears that the respondents Hameeda Begum and Others had earlier filed eviction Suit No. 147A of 1988 against the appellants Champa Bai and Others on the ground of bona fide requirement. The defence of the appellants was that although originally their predecessor Shekhar Chand Jain (husband of Champa Bai) was the tenant of the suit premises but later on one of the appellants Inder Kumar Jain s/o Shekhar Chand Jain purchased the shares of two co-owners and therefore become a co-owner in the property in dispute. The said suit was dismissed holding that the plaintiffs were not sole owners of the property and hence not entitled to a decree of eviction.
