https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=168870 Section 2(1)(iii) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, restricting devolution of tenancy rights in residential premises, was upheld as a valid statutory classification. The Court held that residential and commercial tenancies form distinct classes, and the legislature may regulate the nature and extent of post-termination tenant protection where there is intelligible differentia and rational nexus with the legislative object. The restriction was also found to be reasonable, fair, and just, and therefore not arbitrary or unfair. The challenge under Articles 14 and 21 was rejected, and the distinction between residential and commercial premises was sustained. en-us Thu, 08 Sep 1994 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 13:09:59 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=168870 Section 2(1)(iii) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, restricting devolution of tenancy rights in residential premises, was upheld as a valid statutory classification.
