The Supreme Court ruled that prolonged litigation does not negate a landlord's genuine need to reclaim property. In a 40-year dispute from Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh, the court overturned a 2025 Allahabad High Court order, restoring an eviction order. The landlord, who acquired the property in 1984, sought eviction to set up a medical clinic for his neurosurgeon son. The tenant had refused to vacate despite notices since 1988.
