Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Calcutta High Court allowing the writ petition challenging the order of the West Bengal Reforms and Tenancy Tribunal. The Court emphasized that under Section 20 of the Calcutta Thika Tenancy (Acquisition & Regulation) Act, 1981, the tenant must file a return within the stipulated time, and failure to do so may affect their tenancy rights. The Court ruled that the appellant's claim to ownership was not valid due to the tenant's rights under the Act, thereby affirming the High Court's judgment.
