M. Meeramytheen & Ors vs K. Parameswaran Pillai & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court regarding the eviction of tenants under the Kerala Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1965, specifically addressing the validity of sub-tenancy creation. The Court confirmed that the plaintiffs, as transferees, had the right to seek eviction only for the room subject to sub-tenancy, as established by the partition of property. The Court held that the findings of the lower courts regarding the existence of sub-tenancy were substantiated, leading to a decree for eviction of the tenants from the relevant room only.
