(i) the appellant would become a direct tenant under the first respondent's husband and his brother, who were then the owners of the property, at a monthly rent of Rs. 1000/-;

(ii) the lease would be for a period of sixteen years from May 19, 1954 with option to the appellant to terminate the lease earlier on giving sixty days' notice on the lessors. No deed of lease was however executed, nor the petition of compromise containing the terms of settlement was registered. There is some dispute as to whether the appellant had been dispossessed in execution of the ejectment decree or continued in possession, but it is clear that their possession on and from May 19, 1954 was on the basis of the compromise.
