Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of tenancy rights and co-ownership in the context of a property gifted to two sisters under a registered deed. The Court held that the dismissal of the eviction suit by the trial court was justified as the co-owners had not established their entitlement to eviction based on default in rent or sub-tenancy. The judgment emphasized the need for clear evidence of ownership and the rights of tenants, ultimately upholding the trial court's decision and dismissing the appeals filed by one of the sisters.
