S R RADHAKRISHNAN vs NEELAMEGAM

The Supreme Court examined the applicability of Section 9 of the Tamil Nadu City Tenants Protection Act, 1921, which grants tenants the right to purchase the property if they have erected a superstructure. The Court held that the tenant must be in possession and have made improvements to the property to qualify for this right. The appeal was dismissed as the tenant had relinquished his interest in the property, thus failing to meet the statutory requirements for relief under the Act.
