Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court revoked the special leave granted to the petitioner under Article 136 of the Constitution of India, citing misrepresentation of facts in the petition. The Court held that the petitioner was estopped from questioning the title of Bhurdas as the landlord due to the principle in Section 116 of the Evidence Act, which prevents a tenant from denying the landlord's title. The Court emphasized that it cannot allow abuse of the legal process by permitting tenants to delay eviction on unsustainable grounds.
