Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that a co-owner can file a suit for eviction under Section 13(1)(f) of the West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act, 1956, without impleading other co-owners. The court ruled that the tenant is estopped from questioning the landlord's title under Section 116 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, and that the relationship between landlord and tenant is sufficient for eviction proceedings. The appeal was dismissed, affirming that a co-owner is considered an owner for the purpose of eviction suits.
