Section 16(1)(g) Maharashtra Rent Control Act | Landlord's Bonafide Business Expansion Need Survives Subsequent Licensing During Litigation : Bombay HC

Bombay High Court rules that a landlord's genuine requirement for business expansion under Section 16(1)(g) of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act remains valid despite the tenant's subsequent licensing of the premises during prolonged litigation. The 32-year eviction decree stands, reinforcing that post-filing events do not negate established bonafide needs.
