As per the said agreement, use of suit premises was restricted to the purpose of hotel business only. Petitioner was not permitted to sublet the suit premises or carry on any other business than it was let out. In the year 2010, Petitioner changed use of suit premises and started lottery business in it without prior consent of the Respondents. Petitioner also sublet suit premises to Mr. Kiran V. Patil on rent of Rs.3,000.00 per month and had also accepted deposit of Rs.20,000.00 from him.
Respondents required suit premises for running their own business. The Respondent No.3 had completed his course of Travel Management and the Respondent No.2 had completed his education as B.E. (Computer). Respondents were willing to carry out their independent business and therefore also they required suit premises. Respondents therefore issued notice (Exh.63) for termination of lease w.e.f. 31 st March 2013. Petitioner replied (Exh.64) the said notice and denied its contents and did not handover vacant and peaceful possession of the suit property to the Respondents.
