https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=198527 The West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act, 1956 applied to a pending first appeal because an appeal is a continuation of the suit and the operative decree is the appellate decree. The appellate court was therefore required to apply the law in force at the time of its decision, even though the suit had been instituted and decreed before the Act was extended to the area. On that basis, the tenant could invoke the Act's protection at the appellate stage, and the eviction claim could not succeed. The shorter notice was also treated as non-compliant with Section 13(6) in consequence of the Act's application. en-us Mon, 03 Dec 1984 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 27 Apr 2020 15:46:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=198527 The West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act, 1956 applied to a pending first appeal because an appeal is a continuation of the suit and the operative decree is the appellate decree.
