Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the lower courts' decisions affirming that the respondent, Kamruddin, was the lawful tenant of the suit property under the Punjab Wakf Board since 01.04.1990 at a rent of Rs. 50 per month. The Court found that the appellants failed to prove their claim of tenancy through Shivlal, as the property was never allotted to him. Consequently, the Court directed the appellants to vacate the property, reinforcing the principle that possession must be established through valid tenancy agreements.
