S.Murugan vs S.Kasthuribai on 4 June, 2019
36.Strictly Section 10 (3) (c) can be invoked only where the
landlord is doing business by himself or herself. In this case
respondent-landlady was admittedly not carrying on any business
when the request was made to the petitioner. On the date of the
petition no business was also carried on by her daughter. It appears
it was in anticipation of the business to be started by the daughter
of the respondent, a request was made to the petitioner to vacate
the rented premise. As per the decisions cited by the learned
counsel in R.V.Dharmalinga Mudaliar vs K.Annamalai AIR 1981
