Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the concurrent findings of the lower courts regarding the landlord-tenant relationship, affirming the eviction of tenants based on established ownership under the Transfer of Property Act, 1882. The Court found that the respondent-landlord had valid title to the property, supported by registered sale deeds and prior court judgments confirming ownership. The tenants' claim of being encroachers was rejected, and the appeals against the High Court's dismissal of the revision petitions were dismissed, thereby affirming the eviction orders.
