RAJENDRA SALES CORPN. vs INDERMULL MIMTAJI

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the appellant, as a sublessee, is not entitled to the protections of the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960 due to the exemption granted under Section 29 of the Act and GO No. 2000. The Court clarified that the exemption applies to buildings owned by public charitable trusts, and thus, the sublessee cannot claim protection under the Act. The ruling reinforces the principle that exemptions under the Act are applicable to the buildings themselves, not to the sublessees.
