IMDAD ALI vs KESHAV CHAND .

The Supreme Court held that the heirs of a tenant cannot avail the benefit of the proviso to sub-section (3) of Section 12 of the Madhya Pradesh Accommodation Control Act, 1961, if the original tenant had already availed of that benefit. The Court emphasized that the benefit is a one-time provision and cannot be claimed again by the heirs. The judgment of the High Court was set aside, and the eviction decree was upheld, affirming the landlord's right to evict the heirs for default in payment of rent.
