Kuriakose, J<\/p>\n<p>     Under challenge in this revision filed under<\/p>\n<p>Section 20 is the judgment of the Rent Control<\/p>\n<p>Appellate Authority confirming the order of<\/p>\n<p>eviction passed against the revision petitioner by<\/p>\n<p>the Rent Control Court on the ground under sub<\/p>\n<p>Section 3 of Section 11. The need projected by<\/p>\n<p>the respondent\/landlady was that she needs the<\/p>\n<p>petition schedule building which consists of a hall<\/p>\n<p>and a storeroom presently under the occupation of<\/p>\n<p>the revision     petitioner   for conducting hotel<\/p>\n<p>business for the purpose of doing the very same<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">R. C. R. No.101 of 2010        -2-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      business. The bona fides of the need was stiffly<\/p>\n<p>      disputed. It was pointed out that the landlady is a<\/p>\n<p>      Muslim lady who cannot normally be expected to<\/p>\n<p>      conduct business. It was pointed out further that<\/p>\n<p>      she had two daughters and a son, all of whom are<\/p>\n<p>      already married and settled down in life. All the<\/p>\n<p>      children including the son, it was pointed out are<\/p>\n<p>      almost permanently settled down in a Gulf<\/p>\n<p>      country. The benefit of the first and second<\/p>\n<p>      provisos to sub Section 3 of Section 11 was also<\/p>\n<p>      claimed by the revision petitioner. Benefit of the<\/p>\n<p>      first proviso was claimed on the basis of a room<\/p>\n<p>      situated on the southern side of the petition<\/p>\n<p>      schedule building which was previously being used<\/p>\n<p>      for the conduct of Valiakath Footwears.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_1\">             2. Before the Rent Control Court, the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">R. C. R. No.101 of 2010       -3-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      landlady herself gave evidence as PW1 in support<\/p>\n<p>      of her claim. Her evidence inspired the Rent<\/p>\n<p>      Control Court which held that the need is bona<\/p>\n<p>      fide. Apart from the oral evidence of PW1 before<\/p>\n<p>      the Rent Control Court, Exts.A1 to A7, B1 and B2,<\/p>\n<p>      C1 and C1(a) and the oral evidence of RW1 and<\/p>\n<p>      RW2 came on record. The landlady&#8217;s explanation<\/p>\n<p>      regarding the room where Valiakath Footwear was<\/p>\n<p>      being conducted previously was that the room no<\/p>\n<p>      longer belongs to her but was gifted to by her in<\/p>\n<p>      1998 as per Ext.A2 gift deed to her son. The Rent<\/p>\n<p>      Control Court relied on Ext.A2 and took the view<\/p>\n<p>      that since the landlady is not the owner of the<\/p>\n<p>      building covered by Ext.A2, the first proviso to sub<\/p>\n<p>      Section 3 of Section 11 cannot have any<\/p>\n<p>      application. That court also found that the tenant<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_2\">R. C. R. No.101 of 2010        -4-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      was unable to prove that he satisfies both the<\/p>\n<p>      ingredients of the second proviso to sub Section 3<\/p>\n<p>      of Section 11. That court rather accepted the case<\/p>\n<p>      of the landlady that the income derived from the<\/p>\n<p>      business carried on by the tenant in the petition<\/p>\n<p>      schedule premises was not the only source of the<\/p>\n<p>      tenant&#8217;s livelihood. That court was also not<\/p>\n<p>      impressed much by Ext.C1 report which was to<\/p>\n<p>      the effect that buildings are not available in the<\/p>\n<p>      locality on lease and it was available only by sale<\/p>\n<p>      or mortgage. The Rent Control Court accordingly<\/p>\n<p>      ordered eviction under sub Section 3 of Section<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_2\">      11.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_3\">             3. Considering the appeal preferred by the<\/p>\n<p>      revision petitioner, the Appellate Authority re-<\/p>\n<p>      appraised the evidence. The Appellate Authority<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_3\">R. C. R. No.101 of 2010        -5-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      also did not find any reason to disbelieve the<\/p>\n<p>      version of PW1 that she wants to occupy the<\/p>\n<p>      petition schedule premises for the purpose of<\/p>\n<p>      conducting hotel business as the tenant is doing<\/p>\n<p>      presently. The Appellate Authority not only<\/p>\n<p>      endorsed the reasoning of the Rent Control Court<\/p>\n<p>      in the context of the first proviso to sub Section 3<\/p>\n<p>      of Section 11, but also found that even if the room<\/p>\n<p>      where Valiakath Footwears was being conducted is<\/p>\n<p>      under the vacant possession of the landlady, then<\/p>\n<p>      also there was special reason for ordering eviction<\/p>\n<p>      of the petition schedule building since Valiakath<\/p>\n<p>      Footwear       room was    not   large  enough    to<\/p>\n<p>      accommodate       the landlady&#8217;s    proposed   hotel<\/p>\n<p>      business. The Appellate Authority would concur<\/p>\n<p>      with the conclusions of the Rent Control Court in<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_4\">R. C. R. No.101 of 2010         -6-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      the context of the second proviso to sub Section 3<\/p>\n<p>      of Section 11 and accordingly, would dismiss the<\/p>\n<p>      RCA filed by the revision petitioner.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_4\">             4. In this revision filed under Section 20,<\/p>\n<p>      various grounds have been raised challenging the<\/p>\n<p>      judgment of the Appellate Authority and the order<\/p>\n<p>      of the Rent Control Court. Sri.G.Sreekumar<\/p>\n<p>      Chelur, the learned counsel for the revision<\/p>\n<p>      petitioner addressed arguments before us on the<\/p>\n<p>      basis of grounds raised in the memorandum of<\/p>\n<p>      revision. The submissions of Sri.Sreekumar were<\/p>\n<p>      opposed       by  Sri.K.S.Bharathan,  the  learned<\/p>\n<p>      counsel for the respondent. Sri.Sreekumar drew<\/p>\n<p>      our attention to the oral evidence given by PW1<\/p>\n<p>      and would highlight the last five lines in the<\/p>\n<p>      deposition of PW1 which we extract below:-<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_5\">R. C. R. No.101 of 2010         -7-<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote id=\"blockquote_1\"><p>                   &#8220;]+nIapdnbpsS   sXm+v  Ingt!apdn<\/p>\n<p>             Hgn*pIn+n ]q+n!nS!pIbmWv. l@Pn<\/p>\n<p>             ]+nI apdnbpsS ASp\/pE ]q+n!nS!ps<\/p>\n<p>             apdnbnp tlm+p _nkn\\Jv XpS&#8217;mw.<\/p>\n<p>             ]q+n!nS!ps apdn aI\\v Zm\\w sImSp\/p.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"p_5\">\n<p id=\"p_6\">             5. According to Mr.Sreekumar Ext.A2 gift<\/p>\n<p>      deed executed by PW1 in favour of her son has<\/p>\n<p>      never come into effect. The Donee\/son has not<\/p>\n<p>      visited his home village during the past ten years.<\/p>\n<p>      It was none other than PW1 who took possession<\/p>\n<p>      of Valiakath Footwear room back from the tenant<\/p>\n<p>      then in occupation of that room. That room<\/p>\n<p>      continues to be under the lock and key of the<\/p>\n<p>      mother. Sri.Sreekumar argued that when PW1 has<\/p>\n<p>      conceded in her evidence that she can conduct the<\/p>\n<p>      proposed hotel business in that room and<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_6\">R. C. R. No.101 of 2010       -8-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      concedes in evidence that she has not taken even<\/p>\n<p>      the preliminary steps for conducting the proposed<\/p>\n<p>      hotel business in that room despite that room<\/p>\n<p>      being in her possession all along, the finding<\/p>\n<p>      concurrent though it may be, entered by the<\/p>\n<p>      authorities below that PW1 needs possession of<\/p>\n<p>      the petition schedule premises bona fide cannot<\/p>\n<p>      be correct. According to Mr.Sreekumar, even if the<\/p>\n<p>      first proviso under sub Section 3 of Section 11<\/p>\n<p>      does not operate in view of Ext.A2, then also the<\/p>\n<p>      circumstance that PW1 has not utilised the<\/p>\n<p>      Valiakath Footwear room for conducting the<\/p>\n<p>      proposed hotel business at least in a small way<\/p>\n<p>      will very strongly indicate that the need is not<\/p>\n<p>      bona fide. According to him, first proviso to sub<\/p>\n<p>      Section 3 does operate since it is crystal clear that<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_7\">R. C. R. No.101 of 2010        -9-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      Ext.A2 gift deed has never been acted upon by the<\/p>\n<p>      parties     to   the same.   Sri.Sreekumar      would<\/p>\n<p>      challenge the findings entered by the courts below<\/p>\n<p>      regarding the tenant&#8217;s eligibility for protection of<\/p>\n<p>      the second proviso. In this context he would read<\/p>\n<p>      over to us Ext.C1 commission report which is to<\/p>\n<p>      the effect that other buildings are not available in<\/p>\n<p>      the locality on lease, but at the most, buildings<\/p>\n<p>      are available by sale. Availability of suitable<\/p>\n<p>      buildings as contemplated by the second proviso<\/p>\n<p>      to sub Section 3 is availability of suitable buildings<\/p>\n<p>      on lease and not availability of buildings on sale,<\/p>\n<p>      so argued the learned counsel for the revision<\/p>\n<p>      petitioner. Sri.Sreekumar also submitted in the<\/p>\n<p>      same context that the landlord was unable to<\/p>\n<p>      adduce any documentary evidence to support the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_8\">R. C. R. No.101 of 2010        -10-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      landlord&#8217;s     contention that    the  tenant  was<\/p>\n<p>      possessed of immovable properties.         In the<\/p>\n<p>      absence of documentary evidence, the authorities<\/p>\n<p>      should have found that the only source of income<\/p>\n<p>      which the tenant has is the business of Geetha<\/p>\n<p>      Hotel presently being conducted in the scheduled<\/p>\n<p>      premises.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_7\">             6. As a last plea Sri.Sreekumar submitted<\/p>\n<p>      that the landlady should be directed to let out<\/p>\n<p>      Valiakath Footwear room to the revision petitioner<\/p>\n<p>      on condition that an attractive rent is paid to the<\/p>\n<p>      landlady and that the scheduled premises are<\/p>\n<p>      surrendered immediately.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_8\">             7. Sri.K.S.Bharathan, the learned counsel for<\/p>\n<p>      the respondent would remind us of the attenuated<\/p>\n<p>      nature of the present jurisdiction under Section<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_9\">R. C. R. No.101 of 2010       -11-<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"p_9\">      20. According to him, there is no illegality,<\/p>\n<p>      irregularity or impropriety about the judgment of<\/p>\n<p>      the Rent Control Appellate Authority which is in<\/p>\n<p>      confirmation of the order of the Rent Control<\/p>\n<p>      Court finding that the need projected by the<\/p>\n<p>      landlady is bona fide and that the RCP is not liable<\/p>\n<p>      to fail by virtue of either the first or second<\/p>\n<p>      proviso to sub Section 3 of Section 11. Valiakath<\/p>\n<p>      Footwear room ceased to be under the ownership<\/p>\n<p>      of     landlady   seven   years   prior   to    the<\/p>\n<p>      commencement of RCP. First proviso to sub<\/p>\n<p>      Section 3 can operate only when the landlady has<\/p>\n<p>      under her possession her own building. Since<\/p>\n<p>      ownership of that room is not with the landlady,<\/p>\n<p>      the     proviso   cannot   apply.   According    to<\/p>\n<p>      Sri.Bharathan,    landlady  has  not   made     any<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_10\">R. C. R. No.101 of 2010       -12-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      admission in her evidence that she can conduct<\/p>\n<p>      hotel business in Valiakath Footwear room.<\/p>\n<p>      According to him, it is in evidence that the<\/p>\n<p>      relationship between the landlady and her son has<\/p>\n<p>      become strained after the son got married. This,<\/p>\n<p>      according to him, is the reason why the son is not<\/p>\n<p>      even visiting his mother. If the mother were to<\/p>\n<p>      conduct Hotel business in son&#8217;s room, son&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>      permission will be required. Counsel submitted<\/p>\n<p>      that at any rate there is no comparison between<\/p>\n<p>      the Valiakath Footwear room and the petition<\/p>\n<p>      schedule premises which consisted of a large<\/p>\n<p>      room and a storeroom.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_10\">             8. We have very anxiously considered the<\/p>\n<p>      rival submissions addressed at the Bar. In fact, in<\/p>\n<p>      deference to the seriousness with which the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_11\">R. C. R. No.101 of 2010         -13-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      learned      counsel for   the revision   petitioner<\/p>\n<p>      highlighted what he described as the admissions<\/p>\n<p>      made by PW1 in her evidence regarding the<\/p>\n<p>      availability of Valiakath Footwear room for conduct<\/p>\n<p>      of hotel business by her, we have reappraised the<\/p>\n<p>      entire    evidence given by PW1.        On a re-<\/p>\n<p>      appreciation of PW1&#8217;s testimony we do not find<\/p>\n<p>      any admission made by PW1 to the effect that<\/p>\n<p>      Valiakath Footwear room is under her vacant<\/p>\n<p>      possession and that she can conduct hotel<\/p>\n<p>      business therein. True in the last but one sentence<\/p>\n<p>      of her deposition, she has stated that hotel<\/p>\n<p>      business can be conducted in the said room. But<\/p>\n<p>      in the very next line which significantly is the last<\/p>\n<p>      line in the evidence what she says is that the said<\/p>\n<p>      room is handed over to the son thereby indicating<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_12\">R. C. R. No.101 of 2010        -14-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      sufficiently that she is not in a position to conduct<\/p>\n<p>      business in that room. Evidence of PW1 has to be<\/p>\n<p>      appreciated as a whole. When it is so done, it will<\/p>\n<p>      be seen that the landlady&#8217;s evidence is to the<\/p>\n<p>      effect that she no longer maintains very cordial<\/p>\n<p>      relationship with her son, it may not be easy for<\/p>\n<p>      her to obtain permission of her son for conducting<\/p>\n<p>      a hotel business even in a small way in Valiakath<\/p>\n<p>      Footwear. We have scanned the judgment of the<\/p>\n<p>      Appellate Authority which under the Statutory<\/p>\n<p>      scheme is the final court on facts. The appellate<\/p>\n<p>      authority has found assuming that Valiakath<\/p>\n<p>      Footwear room is available with the landlady for<\/p>\n<p>      conducting business that there is no comparison<\/p>\n<p>      between that room and the petition schedule<\/p>\n<p>      premises. Going by the sketch prepared by the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_13\">R. C. R. No.101 of 2010          -15-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      Commissioner, a copy of which is supplied to us<\/p>\n<p>      by Sri.Sreekumar himself, we are inclined to<\/p>\n<p>      agree with the Appellate Authority and find that<\/p>\n<p>      while the petition scheduled rooms are ideally<\/p>\n<p>      suited for conducting a hotel business Valiakath<\/p>\n<p>      Footwear room is not so suited.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_11\">             9. In this jurisdiction under Section 20, this<\/p>\n<p>      Court is not expected to substitute the factual<\/p>\n<p>      conclusions arrived at by the final fact finding<\/p>\n<p>      authority especially when the same is founded on<\/p>\n<p>      evidence. We find that the finding entered by the<\/p>\n<p>      Rent Control Appellate Authority in this case is on<\/p>\n<p>      the basis of evidence, whether it be regarding the<\/p>\n<p>      bona fides of the need or regarding the operation<\/p>\n<p>      of the first proviso or regarding the eligibility of<\/p>\n<p>      the tenant to the benefit of the second proviso to<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_14\">R. C. R. No.101 of 2010         -16-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      sub Section 3.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_12\">             10. As desired by Sri.G.Sreekumar we<\/p>\n<p>      explored the possibilities of Valiakath Footwear<\/p>\n<p>      building being let out to the revision petitioner on<\/p>\n<p>      attractive terms as to rent, but our endeavour was<\/p>\n<p>      unsuccessful.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_13\">             11. The result of the above discussion is that<\/p>\n<p>      the RCR fails. However, we feel that this is a case<\/p>\n<p>      where there is justification for granting to the<\/p>\n<p>      revision petitioner an unusually long period for<\/p>\n<p>      surrendering the premises.      Hence, even as we<\/p>\n<p>      confirm the order of eviction and dismiss the RCR,<\/p>\n<p>      we direct the Execution Court not to order and<\/p>\n<p>      effect delivery of the petition schedule building till<\/p>\n<p>      30th June 2011 subject to the following conditions:<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_14\">             12. The revision petitioner will file an<\/p>\n<p>      affidavit before the Execution Court or the Rent<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_15\">R. C. R.
