Abdul Gafoor, J.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
           This is a revision by the tenant.  The landlords<\/p>\n
sought  eviction of the tenant urging grounds available<\/p>\n
under   Sections   11(2)(b),   11(3)   and   11(8)   of   the<\/p>\n
Kerala Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act [Act 2 of<\/p>\n
1965] {hereinafter referred to as ‘the Act’}.<\/p>\n
           2.        The   landlords   were   conducting   an<\/p>\n
educational   institution.     They   wanted   the   space<\/p>\n
occupied by the tenant, A and B scheduled rooms for<\/p>\n
the purpose of expansion of the institution.  Therefore,<\/p>\n
the   Rent   Controller,   allowing   the   petition   on   the   said<\/p>\n
counts,  ordered  eviction  under Section  11(7)   as  well.<\/p>\n
The   tenant   surrendered   one   among   the   shop   rooms<\/p>\n
viz., building scheduled as ‘A’ and carried the matter in<\/p>\n
appeal, concerning the building scheduled as ‘B’.   The<\/p>\n
R.C.R.NO.207 OF 2006<\/p>\n
                                                       :: 2 ::\n<\/p>\n
order   of   eviction   on   the   grounds   under   Sections   11<\/p>\n
(2)(b), 11(3) and 11(8) of the Act was confirmed.  In<\/p>\n
the above circumstances, the tenant has approached<\/p>\n
this court with this revision.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                  3.  The contention of the tenant that, as the<\/p>\n
landlords   have   been   conducting   an   educational<\/p>\n
institution   in   the   very   same   structure,   they   cannot<\/p>\n
urge both the grounds under Sections 11(3) and 11<\/p>\n
(8) to evict the tenant for the purpose of expansion<\/p>\n
of  the  institution,  is  well justified in the  light  of   the<\/p>\n
decision   of   this   court   reported   in  Indian   Saree<\/p>\n
House   v.   Radhalakshmy<\/a>   {2006(3)   K.L.T.   129}.<\/p>\n
So   the   order   of   eviction  under  Section  11(3)  of   the<\/p>\n
Act has to be set aside and we do so.<\/p>\n
                  4.   Admittedly, the landlords are conducting<\/p>\n
an educational institution in the structure, where ‘B’<\/p>\n
scheduled   room   is   occupied   by   the   revision<\/p>\n
petitioner\/tenant.  Admittedly, the tenant himself has<\/p>\n
R.C.R.NO.207 OF 2006<\/p>\n
                                                       :: 3 ::\n<\/p>\n
given vacant possession of ‘A’ scheduled building for<\/p>\n
the same purpose.  Merely because the landlords are<\/p>\n
having   other   buildings   in   a   different   structure   and<\/p>\n
that building is sufficient for conducting classes, the<\/p>\n
tenant   cannot   resist   the   eviction   sought   for   under<\/p>\n
Section 11(8)  in the present structure.   There  is no<\/p>\n
provision like the second proviso to Section 11(3) of<\/p>\n
the   Act   in   Section   11(8).     Moreover,   being   an<\/p>\n
educational   institution,   that   has   to   be   run   in   the<\/p>\n
same   structure.     Therefore,   the   contention   of   the<\/p>\n
revision   petitioner,   that   the   authorities   below   had<\/p>\n
erred   in   finding   the   ground   available   under   Section<\/p>\n
11(8)   in   favour   of   the   landlords,   is   not   justified.<\/p>\n
When   the   tenant   himself   admits   that   the   landlords<\/p>\n
are conducting an educational institution in the other<\/p>\n
rooms in the same structure and when the landlords<\/p>\n
have   deposed   that   they   have   to   expand   the<\/p>\n
institution,   necessarily,   they   are   entitled   to   get   an<\/p>\n
R.C.R.NO.207 OF 2006<\/p>\n
                                                       :: 4 ::\n<\/p>\n
order of eviction under Section 11(8) of the Act.   It<\/p>\n
also,  therefore,  cannot   be  said  to   be not   bona  fide.<\/p>\n
Therefore, the finding under Section 11(8) has to be<\/p>\n
upheld.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                  5.     At   the   same   time,   merely  by  reason   of<\/p>\n
showing   the   ground   under   Section   11(8),   the<\/p>\n
landlords are not entitled to get an order of eviction<\/p>\n
of the tenant.   The Rent Controller has, at the same<\/p>\n
time, to examine the comparative hardship in terms<\/p>\n
of the first proviso  to  Section 11(10) of  the Act.   A<\/p>\n
reading of the orders of the authorities below reveal<\/p>\n
that   this   comparative   hardship   had   never   been<\/p>\n
enquired   into   by   them.     The   contention   of   the<\/p>\n
landlords   is   that   the   finding   of   the   Rent   Controller<\/p>\n
that the revision petitioner\/tenant was not depending<\/p>\n
upon   the   income   derived   from   the   business<\/p>\n
conducted by him in the plaint scheduled ‘B’ building<\/p>\n
for the purpose of his livelihood reveals that he does<\/p>\n
R.C.R.NO.207 OF 2006<\/p>\n
                                                       :: 5 ::\n<\/p>\n
not   have   any   hardship.     Such   a   finding   is   not<\/p>\n
sufficient   for   the   purpose   of   the   first   proviso   to<\/p>\n
Section 11(10) of the Act.  In a similar matter arising<\/p>\n
in  S.R.Babu   v.   T.K.Vasudevan<\/a>   {[2001]   8   S.C.C.<\/p>\n
110},  the Supreme Court has held as follows:<\/p>\n
               Inasmuch   as   the   authorities   below,   having<\/p>\n
               proceeded   on   the   footing   that   sub-section   (30   of<\/p>\n
               Section 11 of the Act is attracted, have not recorded<\/p>\n
               a finding under the first proviso to sub-section (10)<\/p>\n
               of Section 11 of the Act, it is necessary that the case<\/p>\n
               should   be   sent   back   to   the   Rent   Controller   to<\/p>\n
               consider whether requirement of the said proviso is<\/p>\n
               satisfied and if so, to record a finding thereunder,<\/p>\n
               after hearing the parties.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                  6.   Following this, necessarily, in the absence of a<\/p>\n
finding   of   the   comparative   hardship   in   terms   of   the   first<\/p>\n
proviso   to   Section   11(10),   the   matter   has   to   be   remitted<\/p>\n
back   to   the   Rent   Controller   to   examine   the   comparative<\/p>\n
hardship alone, confirming the finding on the ground under<\/p>\n
Section 11(8) of the Act.\n<\/p>\n
\nR.C.R.NO.207 OF 2006<\/p>\n
                                                       :: 6 ::\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                  7.     Next,   we   will   consider   the   eviction<\/p>\n
ordered under Section 11(7) of the Act.   Section 11<\/p>\n
(7) reads as follows:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
               “Where  the  landlord  of a building  is  a religious,<\/p>\n
               charitable, educational or other public institution,<\/p>\n
               it may,  if the building  is needed for the purposes<\/p>\n
               of the institution, apply to the Rent Control Court<\/p>\n
               for   an   order   directing   the   tenant   to   put   the<\/p>\n
               institution in possession of the building.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                  8.  A reading of this Section itself will reveal<\/p>\n
that   this   ground   is   available   to   an   educational<\/p>\n
institution or a charitable institution.  The contention<\/p>\n
of the landlord is that it is an educational institution.<\/p>\n
But the landlord is not an educational institution, but<\/p>\n
only   individuals,   who   are   conducting   an   educational<\/p>\n
institution   and   the   building   is   not   owned   by   the<\/p>\n
educational   institution,   but   by   the   individuals,   who<\/p>\n
are   conducting   the   educational   institution.<\/p>\n
Consequently, the protection of Section 11(7) of the<\/p>\n
Act   will   not   be   available   to   individuals,   who   are<\/p>\n
R.C.R.NO.207 OF 2006<\/p>\n
                                                       :: 7 ::\n<\/p>\n
simultaneously conducting educational institution and<\/p>\n
having buildings let out to tenants.   Necessarily, the<\/p>\n
order of   eviction   passed  under   Section  11(7)  of  the<\/p>\n
Act shall have to be reversed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                  Thus,   allowing   the   revision   petition   as<\/p>\n
above,   the   matter   is   remitted   back   to   the   Rent<\/p>\n
Controller   for   the   purpose   of   finding   out   the<\/p>\n
comparative  hardship  of   the  parties   in   terms   of   the<\/p>\n
first proviso to Section 11(10) of the Act alone.  The<\/p>\n
parties   shall   appear   before   the   Rent   Controller,<\/p>\n
Kayamkulam on  12.3.2007  and the Rent Controller<\/p>\n
shall dispose of the matter before 30.6.2007.<\/p>\n
                                                                      Sd\/-\n<\/p>\n
