PURAN CHAND (DEAD) THROUGH LRS. vs KIRPAL SINGH (DEAD) .

The Supreme Court ruled that the respondents, who were prior mortgagees, could not claim tenancy rights after the redemption of the mortgage by the appellants, as they could not be their own tenants. The Court held that the respondents' claim to remain in possession as tenants was negated by the fact that they had purchased the mortgage with possession, thus losing any tenancy rights. The judgment affirmed the lower court's decree in favor of the appellants, allowing them to regain possession of the land after redemption of the mortgage.
