Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether a suit for possession is barred under the Rent Restrictions Act following the redemption of a mortgage. It held that the mortgagor's recognition of the mortgagee's tenants in the mortgage deed implies that their tenancies continue even after redemption, thus the suit for possession is not maintainable. The Court affirmed the lower courts' decisions, emphasizing the importance of the terms of the mortgage deed in determining the rights of the parties involved.
