The Court held that transfer of the company's rights to the Central Government, and thereafter to the successor company, did not extinguish the already vested protection or break continuity of the tenancy. A personal licence could not be treated as defeating a statutory tenancy that had arisen under the rent law. The eviction order was therefore unsustainable, and the occupants retained statutory protection in the flat. en-us Mon, 19 Sep 1988 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 08 Jun 2017 16:44:59 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=192638 A licensee in occupation on the relevant statutory date under Section 15A of the Bombay Rent, Hotel and Lodging House Rates Control Act, 1947 was deemed a tenant, and that statutory tenancy continued despite later acquisition of the undertaking.
