https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=172409 A building taken on lease by the State Government falls within "public building" under section 3(o) of the Uttar Pradesh Public Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972 as amended in 1976, because the expanded wording covers buildings leased or requisitioned by or on behalf of Government and not only Government-owned premises. That broader construction was preferred over the narrower pre-amendment position, and the argument that section 21(8) confined the definition was rejected. As a result, the Act did not apply under section 2(1)(a) for the relevant period, and a landlord could maintain a civil suit for eviction after termination of tenancy. en-us Wed, 11 Nov 1987 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 10:04:45 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=172409 A building taken on lease by the State Government falls within "public building" under section 3(o) of the Uttar Pradesh Public Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972 as amended in 1976, because the expanded wording covers buildings leased or requisitioned by or on behalf of Government and not only Government-owned premises.
