TECHNICIANS STUDIO PRIVATE LTD. vs LILA GHOSH & ANR.

The Supreme Court held that Section 53A of the Transfer of Property Act does not confer an active title on the transferee but only a right to defend possession. The Court ruled that the appellant's payment and acceptance of rent under an unregistered compromise petition did not create a tenancy, as the intention to create a landlord-tenant relationship was not established. Consequently, the appellant was not entitled to protection against eviction after the lease period expired, affirming the lower courts' decisions.
