Ombalika Das & Anr vs Hulisa Shaw

The Supreme Court held that major relations of military personnel who have retired are not entitled to the special eviction procedure under Section 29B of the West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act, 1956, as they cease to be considered members of the military service upon retirement. The Court found that the High Court correctly dismissed the eviction petition filed by the landlords, as the father of the appellants was no longer a member of the military at the time of the eviction proceedings. Consequently, the appeal by the landlords was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
