RANG NATH versus DAULATRAO AND ORS.

RANG NATH versus DAULATRAO AND ORS.

Mere service of termination notice and application under the Tenancy Act does not end tenancy; tenant remains in possession as tenant unless and until possession is delivered upon competent authority's order. Respondent No. 1 acquired occupancy rights on vesting of Inam under section 6(1) of the Abolition of Inams Act. The issue was already determined in earlier High Court proceedings and cannot be revisited; res judicata applies.
