Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the proceedings under Section 6 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963 are summary in nature and aim to prevent unlawful dispossession. The Court found that the High Court's remand of the case frustrated the purpose of Section 6, which is to provide immediate relief to a dispossessed tenant. The Court emphasized that the tenant's dispossession must follow legal procedures, and the appellant's claim for restoration of possession was upheld, reversing the trial court's dismissal.
