Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the eviction order under the Provincial Small Causes Courts Act, 1887, affirming that the relationship between the parties was that of landlord and tenant despite the appellant's claim of a family settlement. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented, including the Memorandum of Understanding, established the tenancy and the obligation to pay rent. The dismissal of the revision petition by the High Court was thus confirmed, maintaining the decree for eviction and recovery of arrears of rent.
