JUDGMENT :
SACHIN SHANKAR MAGADUM, J.
1. The captioned first appeal is filed by the tenant assailing the order passed in ejectment suit.
2. The present appellant filed a suit for injunction simplicitor in O.S.6726/2024 by specifically alleging that he is a tenant under the respondents and the respondents have let out the suit schedule property under lease deed dated 1.3.2013.

The 'doctrine of estoppel' rendered the objection relating to the maintainability of the suit based on tenancy rights untenable.
