2.It is not in dispute that the suit was filed as against the tenant and the respondent temple has obtained a decree of ejectment as against the main tenant. When the execution petition was filed under Order 21, Rule 11 C.P.C. for delivery of possession, the revision petitioner claiming certain rights under the erstwhile tenant attempted to resist delivery of possession on the ground that he is in enjoyment of the property pursuant to an arrangement with the original tenant and that the temple has submitted a proposal to recognise the revision petitioner as a tenant. In a suit for ejectment against the main tenant a sub- lessee or any one claiming under him is not entitled to resist or defend eviction irrespective of the fact whether he was made as a party or not. It is a peculiar case where the revision petitioner claims right only as a sub-tenant who derives the right to be in enjoyment under the original lessee. Hence, the petitioner has no locus standi to resist the execution or claim any independent right as against the landlord.
