https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=175063 Section 16(3) of the West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act, 1956 was treated as operating in two stages: an initial declaration that the sub-let interest had ceased and the sub-tenant became a direct tenant, followed by fixation of rent. The initial declaration was final for the Controller and could not be rescinded because of later events. The Act's inclusive definition of "tenant" meant that a tenant whose tenancy had been determined by notice remained a tenant until an eviction decree was made, so the sub-tenant continued to receive statutory protection under section 16(3). Subsequent developments could not undo a declaration that was valid when made. en-us Fri, 07 May 1965 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 01 Feb 2017 12:57:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=175063 Section 16(3) of the West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act, 1956 was treated as operating in two stages: an initial declaration that the sub-let interest had ceased and the sub-tenant became a direct tenant, followed by fixation of rent.
