Bhuneshwar Prasad & Anr vs United Commercial Bank & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the eviction of United Commercial Bank under the Bihar Buildings (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control Act, 1982, specifically Section 11(1)(e), which pertains to the expiry of lease. The Court held that the bank's continued payment of rent after the lease expired did not create a new tenancy, as it was done without the landlords' consent. The High Court's finding that the bank was a month-to-month tenant due to the acceptance of enhanced rent was upheld, leading to the dismissal of the eviction suit.
