Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Receiver appointed by the High Court had exceeded his authority by creating new tenancies, which violated the injunction order against transferring property. The Court interpreted 'transfer' under Chapter 21 Rule 5(a) of the Calcutta High Court Original Side Rules and Sections 5 and 205 of the Transfer of Property Act, concluding that surrender of part of a tenancy does not imply surrender of the entire tenancy. The Court ruled that the Receiver's actions were invalid, and the tenants were not entitled to occupy the premises under the West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act.
