https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=172219 Section 14D of the Delhi Rent Control Act is a strict, limited remedy for widows and applies only where the premises were let out by the widow or by her husband. It cannot be extended to a widow who acquired the tenanted premises by sale or other transfer from a person other than her husband, because the wording of the provision and its placement alongside Sections 14B, 14C and 14(6) show a deliberate restriction on the class entitled to immediate possession. On that construction, a transferee widow cannot invoke Section 14D against a pre-existing tenant, and eviction based on that provision is not maintainable. en-us Fri, 17 Dec 2004 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 23 Sep 2025 10:03:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=172219 Section 14D of the Delhi Rent Control Act is a strict, limited remedy for widows and applies only where the premises were let out by the widow or by her husband.
