SURYAKUMAR GOVINDJEE Vs. KRISHNAMMAL

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Special leave to appeal is granted and the appeals are disposed of by a common order.

(2.) On 9/06/1936, Ramaswamy Gounder (the predecessor-in- interest of the respondents) executed a lease deed in favour of Gopal Sait (the predecessor-in-interest of the appellant). Certain passages from an English translation of the lease deed (which was in vernacular) are relevant for the purposes of the present case and they read thus:

(3.) It is common ground that the total vacant area covered by the lease was 3600 sq. ft. and that the kaichalai, referred to therein, was thirty-seven and a half by sixteen and a half feet i. e. of the extent of about 600 sq. ft. It also appears that even though there was initially no door number for the kaichalai, it was eventually given door No. 82 and the suit premises we are concerned with bear door Nos. 80, 81 and 82.
