ZENOBIA BHANOT vs P.K. VASUDEVA AND ANR.

The Supreme Court interpreted Section 13A of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, which grants a specified landlord the right to recover immediate possession of a residential building post-retirement. The Court held that the widow of a specified landlord is entitled to apply for possession under this provision, emphasizing that the right accrues notwithstanding any other law or contract. The appeal by Smt. Zenobia Bhanot was allowed, affirming her right to recover possession of the property owned by her late husband.
