Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the eviction of Babulal from a shop owned by a religious trust, ruling that the property was exempt from the M.P. Accommodation Control Act, 1961 under Section 3(2). The Court clarified that the Trust could initiate eviction proceedings after terminating the tenancy under Section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act without needing to rely on the grounds specified in Section 12 of the Act. The appeal by Babulal's heirs was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions.
