M/S BAND BOX P.LTD. vs ESTATE OFFICER PUNJAB & SIND BANK

The Supreme Court upheld the eviction order against M/s Band Box Private Limited, confirming the applicability of the Public Premises Act, 1971, and the validity of the notice issued under Section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act. The Court rejected the appellant's argument that their tenancy was protected under the Delhi Rent Control Act, citing the precedent set in Ashoka Marketing Limited v. Punjab National Bank (1990) 4 SCC 406. The Court held that the appellant's claim of prior possession before the Act's applicability was insufficient to overturn the eviction order.
