Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the agreement dated 5th July 1976 between Smt. Madhuri Bose and M/s Nanee Printers constituted a license and not a tenancy, as it was executed under the terms of a Will that prohibited alienation of property. The Court affirmed the trial court's finding that the license was revocable, allowing the appellant to seek eviction. The judgment clarified the distinction between licensees and tenants, emphasizing the nature of the agreement and the rights of the parties involved.
