B. BANERJEE vs ANITA PAN

The Supreme Court upheld the constitutional validity of Section 13(1)(f) and the amendments made by the West Bengal Premises Tenancy (Second Amendment) Act, 1969, stating that there is no violation of Article 19(1)(f) and Article 19(5) of the Constitution. The Court emphasized that the amendments aimed to prevent the misuse of eviction suits by landlords who purchased properties for profit, thus justifying the retrospective application of the law. The appeals were allowed, and the case was remitted to the High Court for further proceedings.
