https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=193146 A statutory tenant under the Bombay Rent Act was treated as having no transferable interest capable of assignment, because Section 12(1) and Section 15(1) manifested a legislative bar against transfer by a statutory tenant. The later authority on the heritability of statutory tenancy was reconciled with that position and did not alter the construction of the Act, since it concerned the ordinary incidents of tenancy rather than transferability. The proviso and Section 15(2) were confined to contractual tenancy and did not validate an assignment by a statutory tenant. Amendments to the definition of tenant and the proviso were also held not to change this result. en-us Thu, 13 Sep 1979 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 15 Jul 2017 11:48:30 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=193146 A statutory tenant under the Bombay Rent Act was treated as having no transferable interest capable of assignment, because Section 12(1) and Section 15(1) manifested a legislative bar against transfer by a statutory tenant.
