Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court interpreted Section 12(3)(b) and Section 28 of the Bombay Rents, Hotel and Lodging House Rates Control Act, 1947, establishing that a decree for possession of land includes the right to take effective possession of the land along with any superstructures. The Court held that the respondent was entitled to possession due to the appellant's default in rent and taxes, affirming the forfeiture of the lease and the right to eject the appellant from the premises.
