The Supreme Court has come to the rescue of cultivating tenants in Tamil Nadu, making it clear that they cannot be easily thrown out of their lands at the behest of landlords. The present case reached the top court after the Madras High Court and a revenue court ordered eviction against the tenants. The apex court allowed appeals and set aside the orders passed by the Madras High Court and the revenue court. This, according to the Revenue Court, was in violation of the provisions of Section 3(2)(b) of the Act 1955. Section 3 provides in what circumstances the landlords shall not evict the cultivating tenants.
