Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision restoring the decree for recovery of possession and mesne profits concerning the 'B' Schedule property, emphasizing that the appellant's tenancy had ended by efflux of time on 13th April 1959. The Court ruled that the appellant, having acquired the interest of the original lessees, was estopped from disputing the plaintiffs' title under Section 116 of the Indian Evidence Act. The Court clarified that no notice under Section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act was necessary to terminate the tenancy, affirming the lower court's findings.
