ISSUE:
Whether or not, a petition under Section 21 (1)(h) of the Karnataka Rent Control Act, for eviction of a tenant under a contractual fixed term lease, would be maintainable on the ground of reasonable and bona fide requirement of the landlord?
RULE:
There is nothing to indicate nor it has been held in any case that in view of Section 21 of the Karnataka Rent Act a contract of fixed term tenancy stands obliterated in totality. Nothing has been indicated by reasons of which it can be concluded that a contract of tenancy loses significance on coming into force of the Karnataka Rent Act.
