Gulab Chand Bhora & Ors vs Punjab National Bank & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the decree of the Trial Court granting enhanced rent to the plaintiffs at Rs.2/- per square foot for the period from 01.07.1989 to 30.06.1994 and Rs.2.90/- thereafter, based on the recommendations of the bank's regional building committee. The Court found that the defendant-bank's continued occupation of the premises without a fresh agreement constituted a breach of tenancy obligations. The Court also noted that the claim for interest was rightly declined by the Trial Court, affirming the lower court's decision.
