Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellant's claim of tenancy rights over the mortgaged property was not substantiated, as the trial court found no evidence of a lease agreement. The court emphasized that the mortgage deed executed on 1.3.1983 under Section 58 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, clearly stipulated the terms of the mortgage and the reversion of property after seven years. The court upheld the trial court's decision allowing the respondents to redeem the mortgage, thereby affirming their right to possession of the property.
