(2.) ADDITIONALLY it was been averred that the respondent owns two houses and one vacant plot. Petitioner-respondent No. 1 Smt. Phullan Devi widow of Chhotu Ram has averred that she is living in village Kharkhoda District Sonipat, with his brother and that her family has grown in age and the children have become of marriageable age. Since she is living at the sufferance of her brother and that she needs the premises herself, her need is bonafide for seeking the eviction of the tenant, and for using the premises for herself and her family. So far as the building being unsafe and unfit for human habitation is concerned, it has been pleaded that the house is in a dilapidated condition. It has kutcha floor and kutcha roof and that the walls have developed cracks, resultantly, is unsafe to remain in occupation.
