(1.) CAN a landlord seek eviction on the plea that he requires additional accommodation for his married daughters and whether while assessing the need of the landlord, the word "himself" would mean the need of the landlord.
(2.) WHAT is a family. This is how the matter is explained by the Supreme Court of India in Baldev Sahai v. R.C. Bhasin, AIR 1982 SC 1093.
(3.) IN the above case, the landlord was aged 70 years and his wife was aged 65 years. Both were not keeping good health and needed the help of their son. It was held that the Landlord's requirement to accommodate his son and son's family to help him was the requirement of the landlord for "himself". In Vasudev v. Triloki Nath, 1967 PLR (Delhi) 260 the same principle has been laid down. It has been held that if the age of the landlord is such that he cannot live alone and needs the presence, company and assistance of certain members of his family even if those members are not dependent on him, his requirement would be bona fide.
