Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that a lease granted by a mortgagee during the subsistence of a mortgage terminates upon redemption of the mortgage, and the tenant is not entitled to protection under the Rent Act against the mortgagor post-redemption. The Court dismissed the appeal, affirming that the letting of the premises by the mortgagee was not a prudent act in the ordinary course of management, thereby allowing the mortgagor to recover possession. This aligns with the Rajasthan High Court's ruling and established precedents.
