https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=128138 Section 5 of the Assam Non-Agricultural Urban Area Tenancy Act, 1955 was held to apply to pending eviction proceedings and appeals, because section 2 extended the Act to tenancies created before or after commencement and showed an intention to protect pre-existing rights. The protection in section 5 was construed as covering permanent structures already built within five years of the tenancy contract, and the statutory bar operated against eviction itself, not merely against new suits. A pending appeal was treated as a continuation of the suit, so section 5(1)(a) governed the appellate proceedings. The tenants therefore received statutory protection and the appeals failed. en-us Mon, 24 Feb 1964 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 06 May 2014 12:15:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=128138 Section 5 of the Assam Non-Agricultural Urban Area Tenancy Act, 1955 was held to apply to pending eviction proceedings and appeals, because section 2 extended the Act to tenancies created before or after commencement and showed an intention to protect pre-existing rights.
