VASANTKUMAR RADHAKISAN VORA vs BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE PORT OF BOMBAY

The Supreme Court held that the ejectment application filed under Section 41 of the Bombay Presidency Small Cause Courts Act, 1882 was maintainable despite the appellant's contention that the quit notice under Section 106 and Section 111(h) of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 was ineffective due to the applicability of the Major Port Trust Act, 1963. The Court clarified that the respondent, as a statutory body, retained the authority to terminate the tenancy and seek possession. The Court upheld the validity of the quit notice and the subsequent ejectment proceedings.
