BAITULLA ISMAIL SHAIKH AND ANR. versus KHATIJA ISMAIL PANHALKAR AND ORS.

The High Court correctly concluded there was no satisfaction as required by Section 16(2) for bona fide requirement under Section 16(1)(g), the landlords failed to comply with mandatory conditions of Section 16(6) for claims under Section 16(1)(i)/(j), and the municipal demolition notice did not establish the required immediacy for eviction under Section 16(1)(k); accordingly the revisional court properly set aside the eviction decrees and the Supreme Court dismissed the appeals.
