2. whether the finding recorded by the courts below that the appellant tenant has committed first default is contrary to the evidence available on the record ?

3. whether the suit of the plaintiff for rest of accommodation which according to the plaintiff was not let out could have been decreed even when the license of the said accommodation was not terminated by the landlord ? 16- cgl vihy vafre :i ls lquh xbZA nkSjkus cgl fo}ku vf/koDrk izfroknh&vihykFkhZ dh vksj ls f}rh; vihy esa mBk, x, vk/kkjksa dks nkSjkus cgl rdksZa ds :i esa izLrqr fd, vkSj oknh dh vksj ls izLrqr tokcqy tokc ds iSjk la[;k 03 dh vksj /;ku vkdf"kZr djrs gq, ;g fuosnu fd;k fd oknh }kjk tokcqy tokc esa ;g Lohdkj fd;k x;k fd eksgEen Qk:[k ry eafty ij cuh lky o dejs rFkk v.MjxzkmaM esa fdjk;snkj gSA ihMCY;w 03 eksgEen Qk:[k }kjk viuh ftjg esa ;g Lohdkj fd;k x;k fd og eksgEen bZLekby dks fdjk;k nsrk gSA nkSjkus cgl eksgEen bZLekby dks xokg dk firk gksuk crk;k gSA eq[; :i ls ;gh vk/kkj fy;k fd tc oknhx.k dk iq= fdjk;snkj ds :i esa ifjlj esa jgokl dj jgk gS rks ml voLFkk esa ,sls O;fDr dh vko';drk ds fy, nkok ugha fd;k tk ldrk gS] tks O;fDr fdjk;snkj gSA ,slh voLFkk esa vko';drk ln~Hkkfod vko';drk ugha ekuh tk ldrhA oknh dsoy izFke eafty ij fLFkr ,d dejs dks fdjk;s ij nsuk crkrk gS vkSj 'ks"k Bkao esa ykbZlsalh ds :i esa izfroknh&vihykFkhZ dk dkfct gksuk crk;k gS vkSj tks uksfVl izn'kZ ih&1 fn;k x;k] og rFkkdfFkr fdjk;k"kqnk ifjlj ,d dejs ds fy, gh gS] vU; Bkao ds laca/k esa ftuesa fd ykbZlsalh ds :i esa gksuk crk;k gS] uksfVl nsdj ykbZlsal lekIr ugha fd;k x;k gSA ,slh voLFkk esa leLr ifjlj ds dCts ds laca/k esa vihyh; U;k;ky; }kjk nh xbZ fMØh dks fof/kuqlkj ugha gksuk crk;kA 17- fo}ku vf/koDrk izfroknh&vihykFkhZ us ;g Hkh rdZ izLrqr fd;k fd tks izFke fMQkYV ekuk og Hkh fof/klEer ugha gSA izfroknh }kjk dksbZ fMQkYV ugha fd;k x;k vkSj ;g rdZ izLrqr fd;k fd oknhx.k&izR;FkhZx.k dks fooknxzLr ifjlj dh ;qfDr;qDr ,oa ln~Hkkfod vko';drk ugha gksus ds ckotwn vihyh; U;k;ky; }kjk fu.kZ; oknhx.k ds i{k esa dj fof/kd Hkwy dh gSA bl vk/kkj ij rhuksa Substantial

It is settled law that the High Court in second appeal cannot reappreciate the evidence and interfere with findings of fact reached by the lower appellate Court. The lower appellate court is final so far as findings of fact are concerned. The only limited ground on which the High Court can interfere in second appeal is that the decision of the lower appellate Court is contrary to law. It is only an error of law which can be corrected by the High Court in exercise of its jurisdiction in second appeal. If the finding recorded by the lower appellate Court is one of law or of mixed law and fact, the High Court can certainly examine its correctness, but if it is purely one of fact, the jurisdiction of the High Court would be barred and it would be beyond the ken of the High Court unless it can be shown that there was an error of law in arriving at it or that it was based on no evidence at all or was arbitrary, unreasonable or perverse.

11. -----This was precisely the ground on which a Bench of four Judges of this Court in Sarvate. T. B. v. Nemichand, 1966 MPLJ 26 (SC) set aside the judgment of the Madhya Pradesh High Court which had interfered with the decree passed by the District. Court dismissing a suit for eviction filed by the landlord against the tenant. The District Court,

[2025:RJ-JD:21854] (11 of 20) [CSA-231/2003]

sitting as a Court of first appeal, had taken the view, on an appreciation of the evidence, that the requirement of the premises by the landlord for his residence was not genuine, but in second appeal the Madhya Pradesh High Court reversed this finding and passed a decree for eviction against the tenant. This Court set aside the judgment of the Madhya Pradesh High Court on the ground that the finding reached by the District Court on an appreciation of the evidence that the landlord did not genuinely require the premises for his residence was a finding of fact and the Madhya Pradesh High Court had no jurisdiction in second appeal to disturb this finding. Shah, J., speaking on behalf of the Court, summed up the legal position in the following words:

"The District Court considered the evidence for the purpose of ascertaining whether the respondent honestly or in good faith required the premises and held that the respondent failed to establish the case pleaded by him. This finding of the District Court was based on appreciation of evidence and was binding upon the High Court and the High Court had no power to reverse that finding...The Legislature has imposed a restriction upon the jurisdiction of the Court to pass a decree against the tenant in a suit in ejectment by the landlord; and the onus of proving the conditions, on proof on which alone the protection may not be claimed, lies upon the landlord. the burden of proving that he genuinely requires non-residential accommodation within the meaning of Sec. 4(h) therefore lies upon the landlord.

This decision, apart from principle, should conclude the question, but we find that there is one later judgment of this Court where a different view seems to have been expressed. That is the judgment in Smt. Kamla Soni v. Rup Lal Mehra, C. A. No. 2150 of 1966, D/- 26-9-1969 - (reported in AIR 1 1969 NSC 186). This case was decided by a Bench of three Judges and the judgment was delivered by Shah, J., who was one of the members of the Bench. The learned Judge, speaking on behalf of the Court, observed in reference to Section 39 (2) of the Delhi Rent Control Act which confers an identical power on the High Court to interfere only where there is an error of law.

The argument that the learned Judges of the High Court exceeded their jurisdiction under S. 39 (2) of the Delhi

[2025:RJ-JD:21854] (12 of 20) [CSA-231/2003]

Rent Control Act, when they reversed the finding of bona fide requirement of the appellant, has no substance. Whether on the facts proved the requirement of the landlord is bona fide within the meaning of S. 14 (1)(e) is a finding on a mixed question of law and fact. An inference that the requirement of the appellant in the present case was bona fide could not be regarded as conclusive .Now there can be no doubt that these observations made in Smt. Kamla Soni s case, C.A. No. 2150 of 1966, D/- 26-9-1969 are plainly in contradiction of what was said by this Court earlier in Sarvate T.B. s case, 1966 MPLJ 26. It is obvious that the decision in Sarvate T.N. s case, 1966 MPLJ 26 was not brought to the notice of this Court while deciding Smt. Kamla Soni s case, C. A. No. 2150 of 1966, D/- 26-9-1969 or else this Court would not have landed itself in such patent contradiction. But whatever be the reason, it cannot be gainsaid that it is not possible to reconcile the observations in these two decisions. That being so, we must prefer to follow the decision in Sarvate T. B. s case as against the decision in Smt. Kamla Soni s case, as the former is a decision of a larger Bench than the latter. Moreover, on principle, the view taken in Sarvate T. B. s case commends itself to us and we think that is the right view. We must, therefore, hold that the finding of the Additional District Judge that the respondent did not bona fide require the Lohia Bazar shop for the purpose of starting business as a dealer in iron and steel materials was finding of fact and not a finding of mixed law and fact.

13. -----These circumstances, borne out by the evidence on record and held established by the Additional District Judge, clearly supported the finding of fact reached by the Additional District Judge that the respondent did not bona fide require the Lohia Bazar shop for starting business as a dealer in iron and steel materials. Nor could this finding of fact-be said to be arbitrary, unreasonable, or perverse so as to merit interference by the High Court in second appeal. There can, therefore, be no doubt that the High Court in reversing the decision of the Additional District Judge and passing a decree for eviction against the appellant."

25. Thus, the law on the subject emerges to the effect that Second Appeal under Section 100 CPC is maintainable basically on a substantial question of law and not on Facts. However, if the High Court comes to the conclusion that the evidence on record recorded by the courts below are perverse being based on no evidence or based on irrelevant material, the appeal can be entertained and it is permissible for the Court to re-appreciate the evidence. The landlord is the best Judge of his need, however, it should be real, genuine and the need may not be a pretext to evict the tenant only for increasing the rent.

15. It is well settled that evidence on record cannot be reappreciated in second appeal under Section 100 CPC like it could be done in first appeal under Section 96 CPC and such second appeal would lie only if substantial question of law, as defined in various case laws, arises in the matter.
