The unsuccessful tenant before  both  the  authorities  below  has<br \/>\nfiled the  above  revision  petition.    The  respondent\/landlord  filed  RCOP<br \/>\nNo.22\/2000 on the file of the learned Rent Controller, Ambattur praying for an<br \/>\norder of eviction under Sec.10(2)(i), 10(2)(ii)(b) and 10(3)(a)(i) of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>        3.  The Rent Controller by order dated 24.9.2004 ordered  eviction  on<br \/>\nthe  ground of wilful default and owner&#8217;s occupation and dismissed the RCOP on<br \/>\nthe ground of different use by the tenant.  Aggrieved by the same, the  tenant<br \/>\nfiled  RCA  No.1\/2005  and  the  Appellate Authority by order dated 19.10.2005<br \/>\ndismissed the same  thereby  confirmed  the  order  of  the  Rent  Controller.<br \/>\nChallenging  the  concurrent  judgments,  the above revision petition has been<br \/>\nfiled by the tenant.\n<\/p>\n<p>        4.  The respondent\/landlord is the absolute owner of the ground  floor<br \/>\nflat   bearing   Door  No.45\/7,  Shanthiniketan  Colony,  Anna  Nagar  Western<br \/>\nExtension, Chennai.600 101.  The petitioner and the respondent herein  entered<br \/>\ninto  a lease agreement on 28.8.1996, according to which, the tenant agreed to<br \/>\npay a sum of Rs.1,600\/- p.m towards rent and a sum of Rs.2,000\/-  p.m  towards<br \/>\namenities.   Thus  the total monthly rent payable by the tenant is Rs.3,600\/-.<br \/>\nA sum of Rs.21,600\/- has been paid by the tenant as advance.  The relationship<br \/>\nbetween the parties got strained resulting in  the  tenant  sending  a  letter<br \/>\ndated  28.12.1999  informing  the  landlord  that he would be sending a sum of<br \/>\nRs.1,600\/- only from  December  1999,  as  the  promised  amenities  were  not<br \/>\nprovided by  the  landlord.    The tenant further informed in the above letter<br \/>\nthat he had paid a sum of Rs.2,000\/- every month in  excess  during  the  past<br \/>\nthree  years and therefore the excess amount paid towards the amenities should<br \/>\nbe refunded by the landlord.  The landlord sent a legal notice dated 12.2.2000<br \/>\nclaiming arrears of rent not only at the admitted rate of Rs.3,600\/- but  also<br \/>\non the  basis  of  the  proposed  enhancement  as stated in the agreement.  He<br \/>\nclaimed arrears and the payment of rent from the  ;month  of  August  1997  to<br \/>\nJanuary 1999  and  also March 1 999 to February 2000.  He further informed the<br \/>\ntenant that he wanted the property for his own use and occupation  and  blamed<br \/>\nthe  tenant for using the property for non-residential purpose, even though it<br \/>\nwas let out for residential purpose.  The petitioner\/tenant sent a reply dated<br \/>\n27.2.2000 claiming that a sum of Rs.78,000\/- was paid  by  him  as  an  excess<br \/>\namount  towards the amenities and an excess advance amount of Rs.20,000\/- held<br \/>\nby the respondent\/landlord.   In  such  circumstances,  the  petitioner\/tenant<br \/>\ncalled upon the respondent\/landlord to return the excess amount of Rs.98,000\/-<br \/>\n(78,000 + 20,000) and till such time adjust the excess amount held at the rate<br \/>\nof Rs.1,600\/-  per  month  from the month of January onwards.  After sending a<br \/>\nreply dated 15.3.2 000 the respondent\/landlord filed the RCOP as stated above.\n<\/p>\n<p>        5.  The Rent Controller after evaluating the evidence held that having<br \/>\naccepted to pay a sum of  Rs.3,600\/-  per  month  by  entering  into  a  lease<br \/>\nagreement,  the  petitioner\/tenant  cannot  be  permitted  to  say  that he is<br \/>\nentitled to pay only a sum of  Rs.1,600\/-per  month  and  the  alleged  excess<br \/>\namount  paid  by  him  in the past towards amenities should be adjusted in the<br \/>\nfuture rents.  While rejecting the petition on the ground  that  the  property<br \/>\nwas  used for some other purpose, the Rent Controller accepted the case of the<br \/>\nrespondent\/landlord that the  premises  was  required  for  his  own  use  and<br \/>\noccupation.   The  Appellate  Authority was in agreement with the order of the<br \/>\nRent Controller and therefore dismissed the appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>        6.  Heard both the learned counsel appearing on either side.   I  have<br \/>\nalso perused the documents filed in support of their submissions.\n<\/p>\n<p>        7.   Learned counsel for the petitioner\/tenant contended that both the<br \/>\nauthorities did not consider and discuss the facts, pleadings, contents of the<br \/>\nexhibits and depositions with reference to the ingredients to Sec.10(2)(i) and<br \/>\n10(3)(a)(i) of the Act.  The learned  counsel  has  also  submitted  that  the<br \/>\nexcess amount lying in the hands of the respondent\/landlord should be adjusted<br \/>\ntowards the  rent  payable  as  per Sec.7 of the Act.  As both the authorities<br \/>\nbelow did not consider the issue in the proper perspective, the order  of  the<br \/>\nauthorities below is liable to be interfered with by this court.\n<\/p>\n<p>        8.    He   relied  on  the  following  judgments  in  support  of  his<br \/>\ncontentions:-\n<\/p>\n<p>(1) 1979-II M.L.J.  326 <a href=\"\/doc\/565545\/\">(Pattabiraman v.  Accommodation Controller)<\/a>; (2 ) 1974<br \/>\nT.L.N.J.  245 <a href=\"\/doc\/582851\/\">(K.R.Loganatha  Naicker  vs.    S.R.Balasundara  Mudaliar)<\/a>;  (3)<br \/>\n1978-I M.L.J.  79 <a href=\"\/doc\/833951\/\">(Khader Md.

Pichaiammal)<br \/>\nand (7) (2005) 4 M.L.J.  127 (Sudhandhira Devi,R.  v.  K.Navanithakrishna).\n<\/p>\n<p>        9.  Per contra, learned counsel for the respondent\/landlord  supported<br \/>\nthe  decision of the authorities and pointed out that by unilaterally choosing<br \/>\nto pay a sum of Rs,1,600\/- only towards the monthly rent as against Rs.3,600\/-<br \/>\nper month as agreed upon in the lease agreement, which  also  he  paid  for  a<br \/>\nperiod  of  three  years  from  the date of the lease agreement, the tenant is<br \/>\nguilty of wilful default.\n<\/p>\n<p>        10.  Both the  petitioner  and  the  respondent  admit  that  a  lease<br \/>\nagreement  was  entered into on 28.8.1996 and a perusal of the same shows that<br \/>\nthe petitioner herein agreed to pay  a  total  sum  of  Rs.3,600\/-  per  month<br \/>\nconsisting  of  Rs.1,600\/-  per  month  towards  rent and Rs.2,000\/- per month<br \/>\ntowards amenities to the respondent herein.  A sum of Rs.21,600\/- was required<br \/>\nto be paid under the agreement as security deposit.  It is not  disputed  that<br \/>\nthis amount  was  paid  by  the  tenant.   The petitioner\/tenant has also been<br \/>\npaying the monthly rent of Rs.3,600\/- for three years and the documents  filed<br \/>\nbefore  the  rent  controller  would  prove  that the petitioner\/tenant is not<br \/>\nproper and prompt in paying the monthly rent then and  there  when  it  became<br \/>\ndue.   Several  letters have been written by the landlord demanding the amount<br \/>\nand the petitioner\/tenant sent replies promising to pay the amounts soon.\n<\/p>\n<p>        11.  Admittedly, the relationship between the landlord and the  tenant<br \/>\nwas  strained as the respondent\/landlord sought to increase the rent by 10% as<br \/>\nper clause 12 of the  lease  agreement.    By  letter  dated  28.12  .99,  the<br \/>\npetitioner\/tenant  informed  the respondent\/landlord that on and from December<br \/>\n1999, he would send a sum of Rs.1,600\/- per month and he is also  entitled  to<br \/>\nthe  refund of the excess amount paid by him towards amenities during the past<br \/>\nthree years.\n<\/p>\n<p>        12.  This conduct of the petitioner\/tenant, in my view,  is  not  bona<br \/>\nfide.   Admittedly,  he  has been paying the monthly rent of Rs.3,600\/- as per<br \/>\nthe lease agreement and nowhere in the lease agreement it was stipulated  that<br \/>\nthe  amenities charges of Rs.2,000\/- per month would become payable only after<br \/>\nsome repair works were done by the respondent\/landlord, at a cost  of  Rs.1,25<br \/>\nlakhs.   This  was  raised by the revision petitioner for the first time after<br \/>\nthe relationship got strained.  Similarly, the revision petitioner  cannot  be<br \/>\nallowed  to  say  that  the amount of Rs.2,000\/- per month paid by him towards<br \/>\namenities for the past three years should be refunded or adjusted  for  future<br \/>\nrents.   Having  paid a total sum of Rs.3,600\/- per month without any demur or<br \/>\nprotest, the revision petitioner is estopped from saying that the monthly rent<br \/>\nis only Rs.1,600\/- per month and not Rs.3,600\/- per month.  Therefore I am  in<br \/>\nagreement  with  the courts below that the tenant has committed wilful default<br \/>\nonce he admitted openly that he is entitled to send a sum  of  Rs.1,600\/-  per<br \/>\nmonth from December 1999 onwards.\n<\/p>\n<p>        13.   Insofar  as  the adjustment of the rent is concerned, it is true<br \/>\nthat under Sec.  7(2)(a)(b) of the Act, the landlord may receive  the  payment<br \/>\nof  an  amount  not  exceeding one month rent by way of an advance and any sum<br \/>\npaid in excess shall be refunded or adjusted at the option of the tenant.   In<br \/>\nthe  present case, the revision petitioner has paid six months&#8217; advance amount<br \/>\nof Rs.21,600\/-.  Whereas, the respondent is entitled to a  sum  of  Rs.3,600\/-<br \/>\nalone as  advance  amount.    That  means, a sum of Rs.18,000\/- is held by the<br \/>\nrespondent\/landlord in excess, which could be  adjusted  towards  the  monthly<br \/>\nrental arrears.    That  being so, the excess advance amount could be adjusted<br \/>\nfor five months rental arrears.  As per the letter dated 5.1.2000 sent by  the<br \/>\nrespondent,  the revision petitioner did not pay any amount after January 1999<br \/>\nwhich means the revision petitioner is due to pay the monthly  rent  from  the<br \/>\nmonth of February 1999 onwards.  If these excess advance amount of Rs.18,000\/-<br \/>\nis adjusted, still the revision petitioner is due to pay the monthly rent from<br \/>\nAugust 1999  onwards.    In such circumstances, the revision petitioner cannot<br \/>\ntake shelter under Sec.7 of the Act and he has been guilty of  wilful  default<br \/>\non this score also.\n<\/p>\n<p>        14.   The  revision  petitioner  in  the  reply notice dated 27.2.2000<br \/>\nclaimed that the sum of Rs.98,000\/- being held by the respondent\/ landlord  as<br \/>\nexcess  amount  consisting of Rs.78,000\/- paid by him towards amenities at the<br \/>\nrate of Rs.2,000\/-per month and Rs.20,000\/- towards excess advance amount.   I<br \/>\nhave  already  held  that  the  tenant  cannot be allowed to say that the rent<br \/>\npayable by him is only Rs.1,600\/-  per  month.    But,  in  this  notice,  the<br \/>\nrevision  petitioner  has  deducted a sum of Rs.1,600\/- as one month&#8217;s advance<br \/>\nand claimed that a sum of Rs.20,00 0\/- is held by the  respondent\/landlord  as<br \/>\nexcess advance amount which is again not correct.  Only a sum of Rs.18,000\/-is<br \/>\nheld by  the  respondent\/landlord  in  excess.    But  in  his deposition, the<br \/>\nrevision petitioner has gone further and deposed that a sum  of  Rs.1,20,000\/-<br \/>\nis  held  by  the  landlord as excess amount consisting of Rs.78,000\/- towards<br \/>\namount  paid  for  amenities,  Rs.20,000\/-  as  excess  advance   amount   and<br \/>\nRs.22,000\/-  for  repair  and  maintenance  work  done  by him on the petition<br \/>\npremises.  Thus the revision  petitioner  has  been  taking  different  stance<br \/>\nwithout any evidence and such a conduct of the revision petitioner is not bona<br \/>\nfide  and I reiterate that the revision petitioner committed wilful default in<br \/>\nthe payment of agreed monthly rent.\n<\/p>\n<p>        15.  Now let me consider the judgments cited by  the  learned  counsel<br \/>\nfor the revision petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>        16.  In  1971-II  M.L.J.    326  cited  supra,  this court has held as<br \/>\nfollows:-\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;2.  I am unable to agree with  the  contentions  of  the  learned  Government<br \/>\nPleader.   In  a case where quasi-judicial tribunals adjudicate upon rights of<br \/>\nparties after hearing  them  it  is  but  elementary  that  they  should  give<br \/>\ndemonstrable  reasons  so that when it is scrutinised by any one in the higher<br \/>\nhierarchy  exercising  visitorial  powers  he  should  be  in  a  position  to<br \/>\nappreciate as to what was the real reason behind the order impugned or passed.<br \/>\nIt  is  now  well-settled  that such judicial authorities ought not to lightly<br \/>\nreject petitions by passing a non-speaking order which is  totally  bereft  of<br \/>\nany reasoning.  Such reasons ought to form part and parcel of the order itself<br \/>\nso  that  the  order  could  be demonstrated to be one which is sustainable or<br \/>\notherwise by the superior Court or authority when it has the occasion to refer<br \/>\nto it and consider whether such an order is proper or regular.  This  view  is<br \/>\naccepted  by  the  Supreme  Court  in  one  of  its  latest  pronouncements in<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/doc\/1964183\/\">Travancore Rayons v.  Union of India, A.I.R.<\/a>  1971  S.C.    862,  The  Supreme<br \/>\nCourt said:\n<\/p>\n<p>        &#8220;When  judicial power is exercised by an authority normally performing<br \/>\nexecutive  or  administrative  functions,  the  Supreme  Court  insists   upon<br \/>\ndisclosure  of  reasons  in support of the order on two grounds; one, that the<br \/>\nparty aggrieved in a proceeding before the High Court or the Supreme Court has<br \/>\nthe opportunity to demonstrate that the reasons which persuaded the  authority<br \/>\nto  reject  his  case were erroneous; the other, that the obligation to record<br \/>\nreasons operates as a deterrent against possible arbitrary action by the  exec<br \/>\nutive authority invested with the judicial power&#8221;.\n<\/p>\n<p>On  the ground that the 1st respondent failed to give any satisfactory reasons<br \/>\nand indeed no reason  at  all  to  justify  the  challenged  order,  the  writ<br \/>\npetitions should succeed.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>        17.   In  the  above  decision  this  court  held  that quasi-judicial<br \/>\ntribunals should give demonstrable reasons so that when it is  scrutinised  by<br \/>\nany one in the higher hierarchy he should be in a position to appreciate as to<br \/>\nwhat was the real reason behind the order impugned or passed.\n<\/p>\n<p>        18.   I  do  not  think  that the authorities below failed to give any<br \/>\ndemonstrable reasons so that this court was not in a position to appreciate as<br \/>\nto what was the real reason behind the order of eviction.\n<\/p>\n<p>        19.  In (2000) 1 SCC 451 cited supra, the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme  Court  held<br \/>\nthat  only  when  the  Rent  Controller  is satisfied that tenant&#8217;s default is<br \/>\nwilful he can order eviction and whether the default is wilful is  a  question<br \/>\nof mixed  facts and law.  In the very same judgment, the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court<br \/>\nheld  that  where  findings  recorded  by  Appellate  Authority  are  illegal,<br \/>\nerroneous  or perverse, High court under Sec.25 of the Act 18\/1960 may reverse<br \/>\nthe findings and record its own findings.\n<\/p>\n<p>        20.  In the case on hand, the default of the tenant is  unquestionably<br \/>\nwilful  default  and  both  the authorities have come to a correct finding and<br \/>\ntherefore there is no necessity to interfere with those findings.\n<\/p>\n<p>        21.  In 2000-1-L.W.  853 cited supra this court held as follows:-\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;12.  In the light of the above pronouncements, this Court has to consider the<br \/>\nmerits of the Second Appeal.  Though the findings of the two Courts below  are<br \/>\nconcurrent,  this  Court is unable to sustain the judgment of the Courts below<br \/>\nas they have miserably failed to consider  the  material  documents  and  oral<br \/>\nevidence.   The  omission  to  consider  the  material  documents and material<br \/>\nportion of the evidence by  the  two  Courts  below  is  a  valid  ground  for<br \/>\ninterference  in the Second Appeal, even if it is against concurrent findings.<br \/>\nMerely because, the findings are concurrent, this Court is not  helpless  when<br \/>\nit is demonstrated that the two Courts below have failed to advert or consider<br \/>\nthe  material  portion  of  the  evidence or their appreciation of evidence is<br \/>\nperverse or the findings recorded by the two  Courts  below  are  demonstrably<br \/>\nincorrect  on  the  face  of  the documentary evidence produced before the two<br \/>\nCourts below.  This Court is considering this appeal being  conscious  of  the<br \/>\npronouncement  of  the  Apex  Court as to the Court&#8217;s power under Section 100,<br \/>\nC.P.C.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>        22.  In the above case this court has held that when the courts  below<br \/>\nmiserably failed to consider the material documents and oral evidence or their<br \/>\nappreciation  of  evidence is perverse, this court can interfere under Sec.100<br \/>\nof C.P.C.  The facts of the above case are different and they do  not  support<br \/>\nthe case of the revision petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>        23.  In  (2000)  II  M.L.J.    202  cited  supra,  this  Court held as<br \/>\nfollows:-\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;12.  In view of the law declared by the Honourable Supreme Court, it  has  to<br \/>\nbe  held that landlady has no cause of action to file application for eviction<br \/>\non the ground that tenant has committed default in paying  rent.    As  stated<br \/>\nearlier,  landlady  has taken advance of 60 months rent, though law permits to<br \/>\ntake advance of only one month rent.  Excess advance is liable to be  adjusted<br \/>\nin  the rent payable by tenant as and when becomes due even without any demand<br \/>\nfrom tenant.  If that be so, landlord cannot expect payment of  rent  for  the<br \/>\nalleged period  of  default.    If  landlord  cannot  demand any rent for that<br \/>\nperiod, notice issued by her intimating default also will be invalid and of no<br \/>\nlegal consequence.  On the date when notice was issued, no rent  was  due  nor<br \/>\npayable by  tenant.  If notice issued is invalid merely because tenant did not<br \/>\npay rent within a period of two months, he also cannot be deemed as defaulter.<br \/>\nAppellate authority has not taken into consideration the above legal  position<br \/>\nwhile confirming the order of eviction.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>        24.   I  am  in entire agreement with the above decision, according to<br \/>\nwhich excess advance is liable to be adjusted  in  the  rent  payable  by  the<br \/>\ntenant as  and  when  it  becomes due even without payment from the tenant.  I<br \/>\nhave also already held that even after the adjustment of  the  excess  advance<br \/>\namount,  still  the  revision petitioner is in arrears of rent which is wilful<br \/>\nand wanton warranting an order of eviction.\n<\/p>\n<p>        25.  In the light of the above, the revision petition challenging  the<br \/>\norder  of  the  appellate  authority ordering eviction on the ground of wilful<br \/>\ndefault fails and the order of eviction on the ground of wilful default has to<br \/>\nbe upheld and accordingly upheld.\n<\/p>\n<p>        26.  Insofar as the  eviction  confirmed  on  the  ground  of  owner&#8217;s<br \/>\noccupation  is  concerned,  the learned counsel for the petitioner strenuously<br \/>\ncontended that the respondent\/landlord has miserably failed to prove his  case<br \/>\nand  both the authorities below have mechanically upheld the contention of the<br \/>\nlandlord that he is in bona fide need of the petition premises for his own use<br \/>\nand occupation.\n<\/p>\n<p>        27.  The Appellate Authority in the order dated 19.10.2005  held  that<br \/>\nthe   tenant   was  not  able  to  prove  by  letting  in  evidence  that  the<br \/>\nrespondent\/landlord owns some other building other than the petition  premises<br \/>\nand upheld the order of eviction on this ground also.  The Appellate Authority<br \/>\nhas  not  considered  the fact that excepting making averments in the petition<br \/>\nand giving oral evidence that the respondent\/ landlord is not owning any other<br \/>\nproperty, the respondent\/landlord has not let in any other evidence  to  prove<br \/>\nthat  he  is  in  real  need  of  the  petition  premises  for his own use and<br \/>\noccupation.\n<\/p>\n<p>        28.  In 1974 T.L.N.N.J.  245 cited supra this court held as follows:-\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The tenant is the petitioner.  The courts below have not given  any  definite<br \/>\nfinding as required  U\/s.  10(3)(c); In cases arising U\/s.  10(3 )(c), certain<br \/>\nstated considerations arise besides the normal features which usually come  up<br \/>\nfor  decision  in  courts  in  the  matter  of  the acceptance or rejection of<br \/>\napplication for eviction filed by landlords for additional accommodation.   In<br \/>\nthis case,  the  court  is  concerned  with  an application U\/s.10(3)(c).  The<br \/>\ncommon features which are to be taken notice of  by  the  Controller  and  the<br \/>\nappellate  authority,  while  dealing  with  such  applications  are  that the<br \/>\nController or the appellate authority as the case  may  be,  is  so  satisfied<br \/>\nshall  make an order directing the tenant to put the landlord in possession of<br \/>\nthe part of the building for the  possession  of  which  the  application  for<br \/>\nadditional  accommodation  has  been  filed,  and  if  not  so  satisfied  the<br \/>\napplication has to be rejected.  The above special feature in  an  application<br \/>\nU\/s.10(3)(c) is  subject to the proviso to S.10(3)(c) of the Act.  The crucial<br \/>\naspect therefore, could be charaterised  as  a  special  incident  in  matters<br \/>\narising U\/s.    10(3)(c)  is that there should be a categorical finding by the<br \/>\nstatutory authority that the hardship which may be caused  to  the  tenant  by<br \/>\ngranting it  will  outweigh  the  advantage  to  the  landlord.   This special<br \/>\nprescription is not to be considered as otiose or an an  irrelevant  appendage<br \/>\nin the  statute.   It has been specially provided for so as to avoid necessary<br \/>\nhardship to the tenant, as in the case under  consideration  the  landlord  is<br \/>\nonly  seeking  additional  accommodation  in  the  same  premises, whether for<br \/>\nresidential or non residential purposes.  Therefore, it becomes imperative for<br \/>\nthe authorities in cases arising  U\/s.10(3)(c)  to  give  a  specific  finding<br \/>\nwhether  the  hardship  which the tenant is likely to suffer will outweigh the<br \/>\nadvantage to the landlord or vice versa.  Unless this aspect  is  noticed  and<br \/>\nadjudged upon by the statutory authorities there is no complete enquiry on the<br \/>\nstatute contemplated  in regard to the petition arising U\/s.10(3)(c).  Such an<br \/>\nenquiry has not been undertaken in this case.  Therefore, there has not been a<br \/>\nproper disposal of the application U\/s.10(3)(c).&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>        29.   In  this  decision  this  court  considered  the  provisions  of<br \/>\nSec.10(3)(c)of  the  Act and held that it is imperative for the authorities in<br \/>\ncases arising under Sec.10(3)(c)  to  give  a  specific  finding  whether  the<br \/>\nhardship  which the tenant is likely to suffer would outweigh the advantage to<br \/>\nthe landlord or vice versa.\n<\/p>\n<p>        30.  This decision is not applicable  to  the  case  on  hand  as  the<br \/>\neviction petition has not been filed under Sec.10(3)(c) of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>        31.  In 1978-I-M.L.J.  79 cited supra this court held as follows:-\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sec.10(3) (a) of the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960,<br \/>\nprovides  for  eviction  of  tenants  in cases where the landlord requires the<br \/>\nbuilding for his own occupation.   Sub-clauses  (i)  to  (iii)  lay  down  the<br \/>\nparticular  circumstances  under  which a landlord can ask for eviction of the<br \/>\ntenant.  Sub-clause (i) deals  with  residential  buildings;  sub-clause  (ii)<br \/>\ndeals  with  non-residential  buildings which are meant, or actually used, for<br \/>\nstationing  vehicles;  sub-clause  (iii)  deals  with  other   non-residential<br \/>\nbuildings.   It  may be that the language of sub-clause (iii) as compared with<br \/>\nsub-clauses (i) and ( ii) is susceptible of a narrow, literal, interpretation,<br \/>\nbut it is the common acceptation of lawyers and Courts  that  this  provision,<br \/>\nlike the other two following provisions in the same sub-section, lays down two<br \/>\nindispensable conditions  for  an  eviction petition.  The landlord must be in<br \/>\nneed of the premises under the tenant&#8217;s occupation for the purpose of his  own<br \/>\nbusiness or  that  of a member of his family.  The landlord must have no other<br \/>\nnon-residential building of his own  elsewhere  in  the  same  city,  town  or<br \/>\nvillage concerned.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>        32.   This  court  in  the  above judgment lays down two indispensable<br \/>\nconditions for eviction where the landlord requires his building for  his  own<br \/>\noccupation.  One of the conditions is that the landlord must be in need of the<br \/>\npremises  under  the tenant&#8217;s occupation for the purpose of his own occupation<br \/>\nor that of a member of his family.  The Rent Control Appellate  Authority  has<br \/>\nfailed  to  examine  whether the respondent\/landlord satisfied the two initial<br \/>\nrequirements and simply proceeded to upheld the order of the Rent  Controller.<br \/>\nThe  Rent  Controller  also  has not considered these aspects and mechanically<br \/>\nallowed the eviction petition on the ground of owner&#8217;s occupation.\n<\/p>\n<p>        33.  In (2005) 4 M.L.J.  127, this court held as follows:-\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;20.  Excepting the above averments, no other averments  are  available,  such<br \/>\nas,  what  is  the  name  of  the business, in which building that business is<br \/>\ncarried on, who is the owner of that building, what is the rent payable,  etc.<br \/>\nThe  landlords  cannot escape very easily contending that the pleadings in the<br \/>\nrent control application should not  be  construed  so  strictly,  and  it  is<br \/>\nsufficient, if  some allegations are available for personal occupation.  It is<br \/>\nincumbent upon the landlord to plead the minimum requirements, to satisfy  the<br \/>\ningredients available  under  Sec.10(3)(a)(iii) of the Act.  Sec.10(3)(a)(iii)<br \/>\nof the Act says, &#8216;the landlord or the member of the family, if the building is<br \/>\nrequired for the member, must be carrying on business on the date of filing of<br \/>\nthe application, that he or the member  of  the  family  should  not  own  any<br \/>\nnon-residential  building for the purpose of carrying on the said business and<br \/>\nthat the requirement must be bona fide, not aiming  at  evicting  the  tenant.<br \/>\nTherefore,  the  landlord must say, whether the member of the family, since in<br \/>\nthis case the building is sought for the members of the family, is owning  any<br \/>\nproperty,  of his own, as nonresidential building, for the purpose of carrying<br \/>\non business, which is absent here.  What is the name of the business,  who  is<br \/>\nthe owner of the business is also not specifically pleaded.  In the absence of<br \/>\nany proof, by producing some documents at a later stage, the landlords want to<br \/>\nmake out a case, as if the members of the family are carrying on the business.<br \/>\nIf  pleadings  are available, then only, comparing the same with the evidence,<br \/>\nwhether the evidence fits-in with the  pleadings,  the  requirement  could  be<br \/>\nascertained,  in  order to have the satisfaction by the Rent Controller or the<br \/>\nappellate Authority, as the case may be, checking the bona fide.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>        34.  I am in respectful agreement with the  above  judgment  and  this<br \/>\ndecision will   definitely  apply  to  the  facts  before  this  court.    The<br \/>\nrespondent\/landlord has not  at  all  satisfied  the  minimum  requirement  to<br \/>\nattract the ingredients available under Sec.10(3)(a)(i) of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>        35.   In  view of the above discussion, I am inclined to hold that the<br \/>\neviction order passed by the  authorities  below  on  the  ground  of  owner&#8217;s<br \/>\noccupation  is  not  proper  and the same is therefore liable to be set aside.<br \/>\nAccordingly, the same is set aside.\n<\/p>\n<p>        36.  In the result, the revision petition is partly  allowed,  setting<br \/>\naside  the  order  passed  by  the  authorities below on the ground of owner&#8217;s<br \/>\noccupation and dismissing the  revision  petition  on  the  ground  of  wilful<br \/>\ndefault  and the revision petitioner is liable to be evicted from the petition<br \/>\npremises on the only ground of wilful default committed by  him.    No  costs.<br \/>\nC.M.P.No.3447\/2006 is closed.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                                16.6.2006<\/p>\n<p>C.R.P.NPD.No.460 of 2006  <\/p>\n<p>S.RAJESWARAN, J.\n<\/p>\n<p>        After  pronouncement  of  the order today, the learned counsel for the<br \/>\ntenant\/petitioner seeks time for the tenant to vacate the  premises  and  hand<br \/>\nover vacant  possession.    Accordingly,  six  months&#8217;  time is granted to the<br \/>\ntenant\/petitioner from today to vacate and hand over the vacant possession  of<br \/>\nthe  premises  in  question  to the respondent\/ landlord on condition that the<br \/>\ntenant\/petitioner files an affidavit of undertaking to this  effect  within  a<br \/>\nperiod  of  seven  days  from  today,  after serving a copy of the same to the<br \/>\nlearned counsel for the respondent\/landlord.\n<\/p>\n<p>        Post the matter on 29.06.2006.\n<\/p>\n<p>16.06.2006.\n<\/p>\n<p>cla<\/p>\n<p>To\n<\/p>\n<p>1.The Appellate Authority (Sub-Judge) Poonamallee.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.
