Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the High Court's order in Criminal O.P. No. 8926 of 1997, emphasizing that the proceedings under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C. were misused by the respondent. The Court held that the appellants had a valid tenancy and that the police's action to hand over possession to the respondent was improper. The Court directed the police to take possession from the respondent and seal the premises, thereby upholding the appellants' rights under the tenancy agreement.
