https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=187154 A co-owner landlord is treated as "the owner" for eviction under section 13(1)(f) of the West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act, 1956, because co-ownership means each co-owner owns the whole property jointly until partition. In a landlord-tenant relationship, the tenant cannot dispute the landlord's title at the commencement of the tenancy, and the claim is not defeated merely because all co-owners are not joined. The requirement of ownership for a reasonable requirement claim for own occupation is therefore satisfied without proof of sole and exclusive ownership, so the eviction suit is maintainable. en-us Tue, 24 Aug 1976 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 15:08:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=187154 A co-owner landlord is treated as "the owner" for eviction under section 13(1)(f) of the West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act, 1956, because co-ownership means each co-owner owns the whole property jointly until partition.
