Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of a notice to quit issued under Section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act, which requires that a notice for a monthly tenancy must expire at the end of the month. The Court upheld the High Court's finding that the notice was invalid as it did not clearly terminate the tenancy at the end of the month, leading to the dismissal of the landlord's eviction suit. The judgment reinforces the necessity for clarity in eviction notices under the specified statute.
