Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that under Section 36 of the Bengal Money-Lenders Act, 1940, the court lacks the authority to investigate whether the decree-holders are benamidars for another person. The court emphasized that the scope of Section 36 does not permit such inquiries, thereby affirming the decisions of the lower courts. The judgment referenced Renula v. Manmatha and Bank of Commerce Ltd. v. Amulya Krishna Basu Boy Chowdhury to support its conclusions.
