Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellant, despite being a transferee of requisitioned property, does not qualify as a 'person interested' under Section 2(d) of the West Bengal Premises Requisition and Control Act, 1947, and thus lacks standing to appeal against the Arbitrator's award under Section 11(1)(f). The Court affirmed the High Court's dismissal of the appeal, emphasizing that only those directly affected by the compensation determination can challenge the award. The ruling clarifies the interpretation of 'person interested' within the context of the Act, reinforcing the limitations on appeal rights in such cases.
