Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court interpreted Section 17(1) of the Bombay Rents, Hotel and Lodging House Rates Control Act, 1947, clarifying that the one-month limitation for occupation applies to both Section 13(1)(g) and Section 13(1)(i). The Court held that since the appellant failed to occupy the premises within the stipulated time, the respondents were entitled to regain possession. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the appellate court's decision to grant possession to the respondents.
