    Case Summary: WP/3627/2001 The Bombay High Court confirmed that petitioners (former tenants) were liable to pay mesne profits to the Port Trust until January 1987, rejecting their claim of deemed surrender in September 1982. The court found that a mere letter expressing wish to surrender possession—without actual physical handover or court-approved relinquishment—does not absolve tenants of liability, especially when they maintained a watchman on the premises. However, the court directed the Port Trust to recalculate compensation charges from February 1983 onwards and credit petitioners if the actual amount is less than claimed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
