SK.SATTAR SK.MOHD.CHOUDHARI vs GUNDAPPA AMABADAS BUKATE

The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision that the eviction petition under Section 15 of the Hyderabad Houses (Rent Eviction and Lease Control Act, 1954) was not maintainable as the tenancy was indivisible among the co-landlords. The Court emphasized that the partition among the brothers did not affect the lease, and eviction proceedings could not be initiated by only one co-landlord. Consequently, the appeal by the landlord was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
