The respondent, in the eviction petition filed by him, had sought ejectment of the petitioner from the suit property. the ground taken by him was a <em>bona fide requirement.\u00a0<\/em>It was pleaded that the suit property was required by the respondent for expansion of the business. The petitioner,\u00a0<em>per contra,\u00a0<\/em>submitted that the said property was not suitable for expansion of business as sought by the respondent. the Additional Rent Controller, however, decreed the suit and passed the eviction orders against the\u00a0petitioner. Aggrieved thereby, he filed the\u00a0instant revision\u00a0under Section 25-B of the DRC Act.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The High Court, while adjudicating on the matter, referred to a Supreme Court decision in <em>Baldev Singh Bajwa v. Monish Saini<\/em>, <a href=\"http:\/\/scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/44h3avk6\">(2005) 12 SCC 778<\/a>. It was observed\u00a0that whenever a landlord seeks ejectment of a tenant for <em>bona fide requirement,\u00a0<\/em>it shall be presumed to be genuine and bona fide. Furthermore, the burden to rebut the said presumption lies on the tenant; however, the mere assertion on part of the tenant does not suffice. In the instant case, the testimony of the respondent as to his <em>bona fide requirement<\/em> went unrebutted. In such view of the matter, the revision petition was dismissed and the order impugned was accordingly upheld. [Metro Bearings v.
