BOARD OF TRUSTEES, PORT OF BOMBAY vs ASHOK KUNVERJI SHAH . — C.A. No. 7644/2004

Summary: The Supreme Court allowed the Board of Trustees, Port of Bombay's appeal against the High Court judgment dated September 2002, setting aside the High Court order and restoring the first appellate court's judgment. The Court held that respondent Ashok Kunverji Shah, claiming to be a sub-tenant, had no valid rights as the tenant created the sub-tenancy without landlord permission, and sub-tenants are bound by eviction decrees against the main tenant. The respondents were granted one year from July 15, 2010 to vacate the premises upon furnishing an undertaking within six weeks, failing which they would be evicted by police force.
