BHUNESHWAR PRASAD vs UNITED COMMERCIAL BANK .

The Supreme Court addressed a dispute regarding the eviction of United Commercial Bank from leased premises under the Bihar Buildings (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control Act, 1982. The Court held that the bank's continued payment of rent after the lease expired did not create a new tenancy, as it lacked the landlords' consent, thus affirming the trial court's decree for eviction under Section 11(1)(e) of the Act. The High Court's reversal of this decree was set aside, reinstating the eviction order.
