Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the appeal against the High Court's judgment which set aside the eviction decree under the West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act, 1956. The Court held that the High Court erred in dismissing the eviction suit on grounds of sub-letting and unauthorized construction, as the Trial Court had established these grounds. The Supreme Court reinstated the eviction order, emphasizing the importance of tenant compliance with lease terms and the landlords' rights under the Act.
