Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision dismissing the tenant's revision petition against a decree for possession, affirming that the tenancy was validly terminated under Section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act. The court noted that the premises were not in an urban area at the time the suit was filed, which was a critical factor in determining the legality of the eviction. The judgment reinforces the principles governing landlord-tenant relationships and the conditions under which tenancy can be terminated.
