Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that under the terms of the lease deed, specifically clauses regarding default in payment of lease premium and the automatic reversion of possession to the lessor, the lessors were entitled to recover possession upon default by the lessees. The Court clarified that sub-tenants do not have independent rights against the lessor and are not necessary parties in eviction proceedings initiated by the lessor against the lessee. The appeal was allowed, affirming the lower court's decision to evict the lessees for non-payment of lease premium as per the lease agreement.
