RAMDAS BANSAL (D) versus KHARAG SINGH BAID & ORS.

RAMDAS BANSAL (D) versus KHARAG SINGH BAID & ORS.

The appellant's lease pertained to structures already erected prior to the commencement of Thika Tenancy laws and thus did not fall within the definition of Thika Tenancy under the 1949, 1981, or 2001 Acts, nor was the West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act, 1956, applicable to the appellant; application for additional evidence was rightly rejected and the suit description could be rectified without defeating possession claim.
