JUDGEMENT

- (1.)This appeal is directed against the judgment and decree dated 18th July, 2006 passed by the High Court of Judicature at Bombay in Second Appeal No. 109 of 2006. By the impugned judgment, the High Court affirmed the concurrent finding of the lower courts that the appellant's tenancy right had lapsed and dismissed the second appeal.
(2.)When the matter came before this Court, vide order dated 5th January, 2007, this Court referred the matter to a Bench of three Judges. The said order reads as under:
"Apparently there seems to be inconsistency in the view taken by this Court in Vannattankandy Ibrayi Vs. Kunhabdulla Hajee, 2001 1 SCC 564 and T.Lakshmipathi & Ors. Vs. R.Nithyananda Reddy & Ors., 2003 5 SCC 150.

Leave granted.

The matter shall be placed before a three Judge Bench.

Status quo shall be maintained in the meanwhile."

(3.)In the case of Vannattankandy Ibrayi Vs. Kunhabdulla Hajee, 2001 1 SCC 564, this Court formulated two questions for consideration:
"(a) Whether the tenancy in respect of the premises governed by the Kerala Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act (hereinafter referred to as [pic]"the State Rent Act") is extinguished by destruction of the subject- matter of tenancy i.e. the premises by natural calamities, and

(b) On the destruction of property whether the civil court has jurisdiction to entertain and try the suit for recovery of possession of land brought by the landlord."

Both questions were answered in the affirmative.
