1. The decision of this action in ejectment, and for mense profits, concerning two plots of land, with an area of 4 cottahs or thereabouts, "in premises No. 292/4/1, Upper Chitpore Road," Calcutta, instituted on March 2, 1951, turns on the permanency or non-permanency of the tenancy of the defendants. If the defendants' is a permanent tenancy, the suit is bound to fail. If, however, theirs is a monthly tenancy, without more, coming nowhere near a permanent tenancy, as the plaintiffs contend it is, the suit is bound to succeed. That this is the position in facts and at law is agreed to on all hands. Mr. Dey appearing for the plaintiffs, Mr. Sinha appearing for the tenant-defendants, and I view so the crux of this litigation.

2. NOW to the case made out in the plaint One Manglu Kumvakar was a monthly tenant, according to the Bengali calendar, of the land in controversy here under Kumar Dhirendra Krishna Deb Bahadur, the second plaintiff of this suit.
