(1.) The appeal is in respect of the Appellant's suit for eviction filed in the court below on the ground of illegal and unauthorised sub -letting which has failed there.
(2.) The facts of the case are really quite brief. The lease in favour of the Respondent -firm was initially for a period of 10 years with a one time option of renewal. The lease itself expired nearly half a century ago but the property in question was held over as a monthly tenant by the firm. The partners were originally all from England and Scotland but at the material time the partners were only some Kedias.
(3.) The whole house, a very valuable one, situated nearly the High Court premises was however partitioned into two halves and the suit is with regard to one half of the whole house only. Even that would cover nearly 6,000 sq. ft. of floor area and half the rent as per Deed of Lease would be 800 or 900 rupees per month only.
