Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the Trial Court's judgments and decrees in favor of the plaintiffs regarding tenancy rights over the suit premises. The Court emphasized that tenancy rights cannot be bequeathed as per law, and the eviction notices issued by the Bombay Municipal Corporation were invalid as the heirs had objected to them. The Court directed the defendants to place the plaintiffs in possession of the five flats and vacated the stay on the development of the remaining property, affirming the High Court's orders under the relevant tenancy laws.
