NAI BAHU vs RAMNARAYAN & OTHERS

The Supreme Court held that under the Madhya Pradesh Accommodation Control Act, 1955, a landlord cannot evict a tenant without satisfying the statutory grounds for eviction. The Court found that the compromise decree, which allowed for a five-year extension before vacating, was valid as the pleadings and evidence established sufficient grounds for eviction. The High Court's ruling that the decree was a nullity due to non-registration was overturned, affirming that the executing court must give effect to the compromise decree if statutory grounds are present.
