GOUTAM BHAVAN REP.BY M.D vs SHAKUNTALA SAHU REP BY GPA HOLDER

The Supreme Court held that the appellant-firm was a statutory tenant of the premises, as established by the Lower Appellate Court's decree, which was not challenged by respondent No.1. The Court found that the High Court erred in dismissing the appeal based on inadmissible judgments, as the findings of the Lower Appellate Court were binding and final. Consequently, the eviction decree was set aside, and the appeal was allowed, affirming the appellant's status as a statutory tenant without any evidence of rent default.
