https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=169503 The West Bengal Government Premises (Tenancy Regulation) Act, 1976 is not confined to residential occupation; its broad definitions of "Government premises" and "premises" extend to industrial and other non-residential premises, while the later 1984 enactment confirms that any residential limitation was not inherent in the 1976 Act. On breach of lease covenants, including prolonged non-use of an industrial unit and cessation of manufacturing activity, Section 3(2)(i) operates in general terms to bring about automatic termination. A contractual clause promising ownership after 30 years cannot be relied on once the tenant has violated the earlier lease conditions, so no enforceable right to acquire the sheds arises. en-us Fri, 05 Jan 2007 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 19:31:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=169503 The West Bengal Government Premises (Tenancy Regulation) Act, 1976 is not confined to residential occupation; its broad definitions of "Government premises" and "premises" extend to industrial and other non-residential premises, while the later 1984 enactment confirms that any residential limitation was not inherent in the 1976 Act.
