https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=169799 Acceptance of rent-like monthly payments under an unregistered compromise intended to create a sixteen-year lease did not, on the facts found, establish a landlord-tenant relationship. The compromise could operate only as evidence of part performance under section 53A of the Transfer of Property Act, which protects possession defensively but does not itself create title or a tenancy. Because the parties' intention to create a tenancy was not shown from the surrounding facts and circumstances, the payments were treated as part performance of the compromise rather than as rent under an independent monthly tenancy. Protection under the West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act, 1956 could not be claimed on that basis. en-us Mon, 19 Sep 1977 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 08 May 2015 11:14:33 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=169799 Acceptance of rent-like monthly payments under an unregistered compromise intended to create a sixteen-year lease did not, on the facts found, establish a landlord-tenant relationship.
