NEW DELHI: Stating that a landlord can evict his tenant for his own use, the Delhi High Court on Tuesday came to the rescue of a yoga teacher by directing his tenant to hand over the rented premises to him.
Setting aside a 2004 November order passed by the Additional Rent Controller (ARC) in favour of the tenant, Justice S N Dhingra in a judgement said "the decision of the trial court is perverse and contrary to the settled proposition of the law and liable to be set aside."
Directing the tenant, Vasudev Kumar, to vacate the 159, AGCR Enclave premises and hand it over to his landlord Subhash Chander Gupta, the court said "the tenant is directed to handover the premises within two month."
Filing a petition before the court Gupta said he is a Yoga teacher as well as Reiki expert. Though he and other family members stayed on first floor house but after the marriage of his daughter he required the ground floor of the house to host his daughter's relatives as guests.
Claiming that he has authored several books on Yoga and Reiki for which he required a study/research room, besides a room to conduct the classes for Yoga and Reiki.
