Issues: Whether the High Court's dismissal of the special civil applications under Article 227 called for interference, and whether the respondents were independent tenants so that the notice of termination served on only one of them was invalid.
Analysis: The record showed that the respondents had been entered as protected tenants after inquiry, had separately paid rent which was accepted separately, and had been treated by the landlord in subsequent proceedings as persons separately liable in respect of the lands in their respective possession. On these facts, the finding that they were independent tenants of separate portions of the land was supported by the evidence. The Court also reiterated that supervisory jurisdiction under Article 227 is not meant for reappraisal of facts merely because another view is possible, and interference is justified only where there is a patent error, breach of justice, or manifest illegality. No such infirmity was shown in the concurrent findings regarding tenancy status, validity of notice, or rent liability.
Conclusion: The challenge to the finding that the respondents were independent tenants failed, and the notice of termination served only on one respondent was rightly held invalid. The refusal to interfere under Article 227 was justified, and the appellants were not entitled to relief.
