Appellant, after attornment and payment of rent to Gopinath (derivative landlord), was estopped from denying Gopinath's/third-respondent's title. The denial of the landlord's title after attornment, in the absence of fraud or misrepresentation, constitutes a ground for eviction under Section 3(1)(f) of the Uttar Pradesh (Temporary) Control of Rent and Eviction Act, 1947. The High Court's order of ejectment stands confirmed.
