E381/2013 Page 19/20
Court of India that :
"12. A perusal of Section 14 of the Act shows that the law has
imposed restrictions on the recovery of possession, of any
premises by landlord from a tenant notwithstanding any law or
contract to the contrary. However, an order for recovery of
possession is permissible on one or more of the specified
ground. One such ground is the premises let for residential
purposes being required bonafide by the landlord for
occupation as residence for himself or for any member of his
family dependent on him. What is a bonafide requirement is not
defined in the Act. The words 'need' and 'require' both denote a
certain degree of want with a thrust within demanding
fulfilment. 'Need' or 'requirement' qualified by word 'bonafide'
or 'genuine' preceding as an adjectiveis an expression often
used in Rent Control Laws. 'Bonafide or genuine need' of the
landlord or that the landlord 'genuinely requires' or "requires
bonafide" an accommodation for occupation by or use for
himself is an accepted ground for eviction and such expression
is often employed by Rent Control legislation draftsman. The
two expressions are interchangeable in practice and carry the
same meaning."

S.P. Chengalvaraya Naidu (Dead) By ... vs Jagannath (Dead) By L.Rs. And Others on 27 October, 1993
12. It is stated on behalf of the respondent that eviction petition
bearing no. E381/2013 is completely vague, lacks in material particulars
and contradictory in nature. Further, false statement have been made in the
Eviction Petition and as such petitionerslandlords have not approached this
court with clean hands and intentionally concealed the material facts. It is
settled law that one who comes to court must come with clean hands and
effect of material concealment of facts goes to the root of the matter and the
entire nature of proceedings instituted by the petitionerslandlords stand
vitiated on the said account. Reliance is placed upon judgment delivered by
the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in the case of S.P. Chengavaraya
Naidu (dead) by LRs Vs. Jagannath (Dead) by LRs. & Ors. The eviction
petition filed by the petitionerslandlords deserves dismissal on the above
grounds and there is no requirement for the court to adjudicate the present
E381/2013 Page 7/20
case any further.
Rita Lal vs Raj Kumar Singh on 13 September, 2002
In (2002) 7 SCC 614 titled as Rita Lal Vs. Raj Kumar Singh,
Hon'ble Supreme Court has observed as under :
"If the Court is satisfied that though in the pleadings an issue is
raised but that is not a triable issue then the Court is justified in refusing the
E381/2013 Page 13/20
leave to defend. A defence, which is practically moonshine, sham or
illusory can not be held to be raising a triable issue. Else the whole
purpose behind enacting a provision for granting leave to defend, and not
permitting a contest unless leave was granted, would stand defeated."
