Section 11(3) Kerala Rent Control Act | 'Bona Fide Need' Eviction Requires Tangible Evidence, Not Mere Oral Testimony: Kerala HC
Kerala High Court sets aside eviction orders under Section 11(3) of the Kerala Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1965, ruling that landlords must substantiate 'bona fide need' with concrete evidence-documents, witness corroboration, or material proof-beyond oral assertions. The decision reinforces the burden of proof in eviction proceedings, impacting landlords and tenants across Kerala.
