RANGNATH VISHNU MULLUCK & ANR. vs VITHOBA RAMA RAHANE & ORS.

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision in allowing the writ petition filed by the tenant under Section 84 of the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, asserting that the landlord's possession of the lands was unauthorized as he had not obtained lawful possession. The Court clarified that the tenant had not surrendered his tenancy rights, and thus the application for eviction was maintainable. Consequently, the appeal by the landlord was dismissed, affirming the tenant's rights over the lands in question.
