The respondents appealed and were granted an injunction restraining the petitioner from entering the premises.
Finding of the Court:
The appellate court found that the agreement did not create a tenancy, and the petitioner was only given permission to use the machine, not the premises. The court held that the injunction was justified to prevent interference with the respondent's peaceful possession.
Issues: Validity of the injunction, nature of the agreement, and possession of the premises.
Ratio Decidendi: The agreement did not create a tenancy, and the petitioner was only given permission to use the machine, not the premises. The injunction was justified to prevent interference with the respondent's peaceful possession.
Final Decision: The petition failed, and the injunction was upheld.
