https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=280653 A pre-Act sub-tenancy was held outside the reach of Section 13(2) of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, so eviction could not be sustained on that basis. The tenant's partial surrender of tenancy rights did not prejudice a prior under-lease, because a lease cannot be split to defeat the incidents of a subsisting sub-tenancy and surrender does not extinguish earlier sub-lease rights. The sub-tenant's rights were also held to survive the tenant's eviction order, as the sub-tenant retained an independent right to resist or appeal against the common decree. The statutory eviction order against the sub-tenant was therefore not sustainable. en-us Fri, 06 Feb 1987 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 15 May 2019 15:29:53 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=280653 A pre-Act sub-tenancy was held outside the reach of Section 13(2) of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, so eviction could not be sustained on that basis.
