SULTANA BEGUM vs PREM CHAND JAIN

The Supreme Court addressed the execution of a compromise decree under the Code of Civil Procedure, specifically Section 47, concerning the eviction of a tenant. The Court held that the tenant's claim of having handed over possession to the landlady's attorney, Ramesh B. Sharma, was invalid due to the cancellation of the power of attorney prior to the alleged transfer of possession. The Court ruled that the decree was executable as the tenant failed to vacate the premises as per the compromise, thus allowing the landlady's appeal for eviction.
