LACHOO MAL vs RADHEY SHYAM

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of Section 3 of the U.P. (Temporary) Control of Rent and Eviction Act, 1947, in a tenancy dispute. The Court held that the appellant, as a tenant, was entitled to the protections under Section 3 of the Act despite the respondent's attempts to terminate the tenancy. The judgment of the Allahabad High Court was set aside, affirming the Munsif's decision that the appellant's tenancy was valid and protected under the Act.
