ASA RAM AND ANOTHER vs MST. RAM KALI AND ANOTHER

The Supreme Court held that under Section 76(a) of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, an agricultural lease created by a mortgagee is binding on the mortgagor even after redemption, provided it is a prudent management decision. The Court found that the lease in question could not be upheld as it was not executed by a person with authority, thus denying the respondents' claim to rights as hereditary tenants under Section 29(a) of the U.P. Tenancy Act, 1939. Consequently, the appellants were entitled to possession of the land as the respondents were deemed trespassers.
