Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the notice under Section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act was validly served, terminating the respondent's tenancy. The Court established that a licensee who continues in possession after the expiry of the license period can be treated as a tenant only if the landlord accepts rent, which was not the case here. The Court upheld the appellant's right to seek possession and mesne profits, reversing the High Court's decision that had dismissed the appellant's suit.
