LALA RAGHURAJ SWARUP (DEAD) BY L.RS. vs HARDWARI LAL AND ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the interest of a non-occupancy sub-tenant is extinguished upon the extinction of the non-occupancy tenant's interest, as per Section 47(1) of the United Provinces Tenancy Act, 1939. The Court clarified that a sub-tenant cannot be considered a tenant under Sections 175(a) or (b) if they remain in possession after the lease expiry and despite a notice to quit. Consequently, the suit for ejectment was maintainable under Section 180 of the Act, leading to the dismissal of the appeal by the sub-tenant.
