JUDGEMENT
Prakash Tatia, J. -
(1.) Heard learned counsel for the parties.
The brief facts of the case are that the
plaintiff-respondent filed the suit for eviction
against the defendant-appellants on the ground
of personal bonafide necessity of the suit
premises so that the plaintiff may construct stair
to reach on the roof of his property and may
raise construction over the first floor. It is also
pleaded that part of the rented premises will
be included in the adjoining shop of the plaintiff
so that the plaintiff may utilize for expansion of his adjoining shop for his needs as
pleaded in the plaint. The trial court as well as
first appellate court found the need of the plaintiff,
as reasonable and bonafide. The appellants are aggrieved against the judgment and
decree dated 8th Jan., 1990 passed by the
trial court and the judgment and decree dated
12th July, 2001 passed by the first appellate
court.
(2.) Present second appeal was heard by
this Court on 20th Sept., 2001 and this Court
in its detail order dated 20th Sept., 2001 held
that:-
"So far as the findings recorded by the
trial court about the bonafide and reasonable necessity
of the plaintiff for setting up a stair case in the suit shop to
reach roof of his shop for his enjoyment
is concerned, it is a finding of the fact
and cannot be examined by appreciating evidence in this second appeal."
(3.) However, this Court after looking into
the peculiar dimension of the shop of the defendant, which is only 4'x28', held that the
question of partial eviction of the tenant from
the shop in dispute is required to be examined
to find out, whether the need of the plaintiff
can be satisfied by giving some part of the
rented premises to the plaintiff so that the plaintiff may construct stair case and remaining
portion may be kept in the tenancy of the defendant. The matter was remitted back to the
first appellate court for decision on issue of
partial eviction. After remand of the case, the
first appellate court permitted both the parties
to lead evidence and thereafter, held that the
decree for partial eviction cannot satisfy the
need of the plaintiff as it is not possible to
construct stair case except by getting possession
of the entire shop from the defendant, therefore, the trial court decided the issue against
the defendants-tenants-appellants.;
