"Jyoti Sharma vs. Vishnu Goyal & Anr. 2025 INSC 1099," details a Supreme Court of India case concerning an eviction dispute. The appellant, Jyoti Sharma (landlord), sought to evict the respondents, Vishnu Goyal & Anr. (tenants), from a shop room due to bona fide need to expand her husband's business and for recovery of defaulted rent from January 2000. The tenants challenged the landlord's title, disputing the will through which she inherited the property and claiming the original landlord, Ramji Das, had no legitimate ownership. The Supreme Court ultimately sided with the landlord, reversing lower court decisions and ordering the tenants' eviction and payment of rent arrears, granting them a six-month period to vacate.

It focuses on the quashing of criminal proceedings against the appellant. The case originated from an accusation that an educational society, run by the appellant, submitted a forged no-objection certificate (NOC) from the Fire Department to obtain institutional recognition. However, the Court found that an NOC was not required for buildings under 15 meters, and the appellant's building was 14.20 meters, meaning the alleged false representation did not induce the Education Department. Ultimately, the appeal was allowed, and the criminal proceedings for cheating and forgery were quashed as essential ingredients of these offenses, such as dishonest inducement or the making of the forged document, were not met.
