petitioner was concededly inducted by the said erstwhile owners as a tenant in the subject premises, the tenancy being oral. It was pleaded by the respondents and proved through evidence at the trial on the eviction petition from which the present petition arises that the petitioners had purchased the undivided right, title and interest in equal shares in the said property from the erstwhile owners by separate sale deeds executed and duly registered on 07.02.2006. It may be mentioned here that the second respondent herein is the wife of Satish Kumar, who is real brother of the first respondent herein. It appears sale deeds were also executed in respect of upper two floors of the said property in favour of the respondents, but this case does not concern said above floors, the tenanted premises being part of the ground floor only. The site plan would reveal that the ground floor of the property consists of three rooms, latrine, two bathroom, one kitchen, one varandah and three shops besides passage leading to the back portion from the front side. The upper floors of the property were described as residential quarters put to such use by the petitioners and members of their family stated to be quite large undivided family living jointly, comprising, at the time of filing of the petition, seven adult members and three minor children.
