Rent laws -- Resjudicata -- Previous petition was for seeking eviction on account of the personal necessity qua the son of the petitioner, whereas in the present petition, which is filed after 07 years, personal necessity is pleaded on account of the fact that the petitioner himself has retired and has already shifted to Mohali for which he requires his house – Petitioner-tenant failed to prove that the present petition is barred by the principle of res judicata -- Eviction order upheld.

Rent law -- FIR u/s 323, 324, 326, 34 IPC against tenant, landlady suffered grievous injuries in the incident -- She was not staying in the demised premises despite being the owner establishes that the petitioner/tenant had become a threat and nuisance to her -- It is only the petitioner/tenant who has driven the respondent/landlady out of the premises -- Petitioner/tenant cannot be allowed to take advantage of his own wrong and questionable criminal behaviour by saying that the demised premises being unoccupied would establish that the landlady did not need it for bona fide personal necessity.
