Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the eviction order against the respondent, emphasizing that the tenant's rights under the lease deed dated 12.02.1989 were valid and binding. The Court clarified that the appellants, being the heirs of A. Radhakrishnan, could not challenge the lease agreement executed by their predecessor without proper legal grounds. The judgment reinforced the principle that a tenant's possession cannot be disturbed without due process, particularly when a valid lease exists.
