JIVABHAI PURSHOTTAM vs CHHAGAN KARSON AND OTHERS

The Supreme Court interpreted Section 34(2A) of the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948, holding that the amendment applied from the date the tenancy was terminated following the notice of ejectment under Section 34(1), not from the notice date. The Court ruled that the amendment did not divest the landlord of any vested rights until the notice period expired, thus requiring compliance with the new provisions for possession. The appeal was decided in favor of the tenant, affirming the applicability of the amended provisions.
