https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=285497 A sub-tenant claiming protection under the West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act, 1956 must establish the landlord's prior written consent and statutory notice of the sub-tenancy. Where those mandatory requirements are not proved, the sub-tenant acquires no enforceable right to be impleaded in the landlord's eviction suit, and the eviction decree against the tenant binds the sub-tenant as well. A bilateral arrangement between tenant and alleged sub-tenant cannot defeat the landlord's statutory right to evict. In that setting, allegations of fraud and collusion do not survive as an independent basis to resist the decree. en-us Tue, 25 Sep 2001 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 15 Jan 2020 17:01:43 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=285497 A sub-tenant claiming protection under the West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act, 1956 must establish the landlord's prior written consent and statutory notice of the sub-tenancy.
