Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that a notice to quit, although not explicitly stating a vacate date, was valid under Section 13(1)(j) of the West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act, 1956. The Court clarified that a notice must indicate the tenant's intention to vacate, which was satisfied by the statement of vacating within 6 to 8 months. The Court also established that a defective notice can be accepted by the landlord, preventing the tenant from later challenging its validity.
