KUDAL CHAUDHARI vs PURSHOTTAM B. TODI

The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petition filed by the applicant, affirming the Bombay High Court's decision to derequisition premises under the Bombay Land Requisition Act, 1948. The Court held that the applicant, who claimed statutory tenancy under the amended Bombay Rent Act, was not entitled to remain in possession beyond the specified time. The Court emphasized the distinction between requisition and acquisition, referencing the precedent set in Grahak Sanstha Manch v. State of Maharashtra, which limits indefinite possession by tenants.
