Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of sub-letting under the Transfer of Property Act, specifically examining whether the dissolution of a partnership and the subsequent transfer of tenancy rights by one partner without landlord consent constitutes sub-letting. The Court upheld the High Court's finding that since one partner continued to operate the business in the premises, no sub-letting occurred. The appeal for eviction was dismissed, affirming that the landlord failed to prove sub-letting as defined under the law.
