Mumbai Court Orders Eviction of Goregaon Tenant After 16 Years
Imagine a long argument between a landlord and a tenant about a room.
The landlord, who is old, wanted the tenant to leave the room because the tenant wasn't using it.
Even though the tenant said they wanted to stay, the court agreed with the landlord.
The court said the tenant had not been using the room for a long time.
The tenant now has to leave the room within three months.
Court orders eviction of a Goregaon tenant after a 16-year legal battle.

The appellate court overturned a 2022 trial court decision that had dismissed the eviction suit.
The tenant was found to have not used the premises for over six months.
