LAKSHMI NARAYANAN vs S S PANDIAN

The Supreme Court held that a compromise between the landlord and tenant did not extinguish the eviction decree under the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease & Rent Control) Act, 1960, but merely postponed its execution. The Court emphasized that the tenant's failure to vacate the premises after the agreed period entitled the landlord to execute the decree. The Court overturned the High Court's dismissal of the landlord's revision petitions, allowing the execution of the decree for possession.
