Courts Uphold Landlords' Rights in Eviction Cases Involving Property Use

The Supreme Court ruled that tenants cannot dictate which property a landlord must use, upholding an eviction order for a Mumbai commercial property needed for the landlord's daughter-in-law's business. The tenant must vacate by June 30, 2026. Separately, the Madhya Pradesh High Court clarified that an advocate's office in a residential building does not constitute commercial activity, supporting eviction for bona fide residential use. Both rulings emphasize landlords' rights in genuine eviction cases.
