7. The Apex Court in the matter of Dr. Ranbir Singh v. Asharfi Lal (supra) referring to its earlier judgment in the matter of Life Insurance Corporation of India v. India Automobiles and Company and others, has held that in a suit for eviction based on such relationship of landlord and tenant, the Court has only to decided whether the defendant is the tenant of the plaintiff or not, though the question of title if disputed, may incidentally be gone into, in connection with the primary question for determining the main question about the relationship between the litigating parties.
