MUHAMMAD YOUNUS VS MANSOOR ALI (DECEASED) S.15---eviction petition---Bona fide personal need---Scope---If the statement made on oath by the landlord is consistent with the averments made by him in his ejectment application and neither is his statement shaken nor is anything brought in evidence to contradict his statement, it will be sufficient for the grant of his ejectment application; all that the landlord has to show is that he required the demised premises of a particular tenant for his personal use and the choice is his as to the suitability of the demised premises which he required for his personal use, and that his need is reasonable and bona fide; the landlord has the complete option to choose from any one of the several tenements occupied by the tenants in order to avail of the ground of personal need; and, the landlord himself would determine in what way, subject to law, he wants to utilize his premises after eviction of the tenant.
