Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to restore the landlord's possession rights under Section 36 and Section 38 of the Tenancy Act, dismissing the tenant's appeal. The Court found that the tenant's status as a protected lessee ceased after the termination of the lease under Section 9A of the Berar Act and that the landlord did not acquiesce to the tenancy. The application for possession was deemed timely, as it was filed within two years of the Tenancy Act's enforcement, affirming the High Court's interference with the Revenue Tribunal's order.
