Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petition concerning the acceptance of an offer made by the landlord to the tenants for two shops, which the tenants initially refused. The Court held that since the tenants are now willing to accept the offer, they must vacate the original premises upon receiving possession of the two shops. The Court clarified that if possession of the shops is not delivered, the landlord may execute the decree as per law, thus upholding the landlord's rights under the tenancy agreement.
