ances will be entitled to eviction and bona fide requirement
is one of such grounds on the basis of which landlords have
been permitted to have eviction of a tenant. In this con-
text, the phrase 'owner' thereof has to be understood, and
it is clear that what is contemplated is that where the
person builds up his property and lets out to the tenant and
subsequently needs it for his own use, he should be entitled
to an order or decree for eviction, the only thing necessary
for him to prove is bona fide requirement and that he is the
owner thereof, In this context, what appears to be the
meaning of the term 'owner' is vis-a-vis the tenant i.e. the
owner should be something more than the tenant. Admittedly
in these cases where the plot of land is taken on lease the
structure is built by the landlord and admittedly he is the
owner of the structure. So far as the land is concerned he
holds a long lease and in view of the matter as against the
tenant it could not be doubted that he will fall within the
ambit of the meaning of the term 'owner' as is contemplated
under this Section. This term came up for consideration
before the Delhi High Court and it was also in reference to
Section 14(1)(e) and it was held by the Delhi High Court in
