10. The learned Trial Court has further held that on perusal of the record, it appears that the plaintiffs have filed the suit for eviction of the defendants from the suit premises and tenants on sole ground of personal necessity under Section 11(I)

(c) of the BBC Act by virtue of the provision under Section 14 of the BBC Act. The defendants before filing the written Patna High Court C.R. No.30 of 2024(15) dt.19-06-2025 statement were required to take permission of the Court to do so.

In absence of taking leave, neither the written statement can be accepted nor the tenant can be allowed to contest the suit. In absence of such leave taken by the tenant in this case, the written statement of the defendants cannot be taken into consideration. It shall be deemed that the defendants have admitted the pleadings of the plaintiffs. Therefore, the plaintiffs are entitled to a decree of eviction on the ground of personal requirement. It is further held that the defendants are in bona fide and reasonable requirement of the suit premises for personal necessity.
