Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. And ... vs N.R. Vairamani And Anr

The Supreme Court held that the Tamil Nadu City Tenants' Protection Act, 1921 provides specific statutory remedies for tenants, particularly under Sections 3 and 9, which must be exhausted before seeking eviction through a writ petition. The Court found that the High Court's decision to allow eviction without considering these statutory provisions was erroneous and not in line with the precedent set in Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. v. Dolly Das. The appeals were allowed, reinforcing the necessity of adhering to statutory remedies available to tenants under the Tenants Act.
