Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decisions of the lower courts, affirming that no landlord-tenant relationship existed between the appellants and the respondents. The Court noted that the appellants claimed ownership based on a sale deed, while the respondents contested this claim, asserting their rights as the legal heirs of the original owner. The Court emphasized the importance of establishing a valid tenancy and ownership under the Transfer of Property Act, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
