https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=281445 Section 15A of the Bombay Rents, Hotels and Lodging House Rates Control Act, 1947 was construed as conferring protected tenant status on a licensee in actual occupation of a flat on 1 February 1973, by legal fiction and with overriding effect. On that basis, the occupant was treated as within the special rent legislation, and the society could not bypass that protection by invoking Section 91(1) of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960.
