Orders in this case
Case Summary: BHARAT PETROLEUM CORP. LTD. v. R. CHANDRAMOULEESWARAN Court Decision: The Supreme Court dismissed appeals by three oil companies (BPCL, IOCL, HPCL) challenging the Madras High Court's rejection of their applications seeking to purchase leasehold land under Section 9 of the Madras City Tenants' Protection Act, 1921. Key Holding: Tenants are not entitled to purchase land rights unless they maintain actual physical possession of the constructed building. Since the oil companies leased petrol pumps to dealers/licensees, they lost eligibility for statutory purchase rights under the Act.
