Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the notice of termination of tenancy under Section 13(6) of the West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act must comply with statutory requirements, particularly when the tenancy agreement is unregistered. The Court found that the High Court correctly determined that the notice issued by the landlady was insufficient, leading to the dismissal of the eviction suit. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling that the tenant's rights were not violated due to the procedural inadequacies in the notice.
