In Brief
A tenant ordered to pay mesne profits of ₹60,000 per month sought relief before the Supreme Court. Instead of contesting the award, the tenant proposed to surrender vacant possession to avoid further damages. The landlord agreed. The Court accepted this settlement, set aside the mesne profits order, and appointed an Advocate Commissioner to oversee the handover. The tenant agreed to deliver possession by 14 May 2017 and to pay ₹50,000 to the Commissioner. The appeal was disposed of as a compromise solution.
