Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the provisions of the Delhi Land Reforms Act, 1954, specifically Section 32, govern the rights of tenants and landowners in the context of land leases. The Court established that a tenant's right to continue in possession is protected under the Act, and any eviction must follow due process as outlined in the statute. The appeals by the Government of NCT of Delhi were dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision in favor of the respondents.
