In a recent ruling, the Delhi High Court ordered the eviction of a tenant after the landlord’s grandson expressed a need for the property to set up his law chambers. The grandson, along with his brother and his wife are all advocates, currently operating out of a chamber in the Tis Hazari court, which they find inadequate for their needs. They wanted to convert their house into a chamber. Moreover, it is conveniently located near the Karkardooma Court where they have been practicing lately, providing further justification for asking Mr Kumar (the tenant) to vacate it.
Mr Kumar pushed back by arguing that the landlords seem indecisive as they had initially told him that they needed the house to open a confectionery shop but are now saying that it’s for a law chamber. Kumar also pointed out to the court that the landlords have multiple other properties, including two shops in Shahdara and a house in Krishna Nagar.
