https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=288725 Non-bona fide denial of a landlord's title is an independent ground for eviction under the Andhra Pradesh Buildings (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control Act, 1960. The statute requires the denial to be clear and unequivocal, but it does not add any condition that the denial must predate the eviction petition. A denial raised in the tenant's written statement can therefore be relied on in the same proceedings, especially where the issue is framed, tried, and fully contested. The special rent statute governs this ground, rather than general forfeiture principles under the Transfer of Property Act. en-us Tue, 19 Sep 1989 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 16 Jun 2025 18:03:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=288725 Non-bona fide denial of a landlord's title is an independent ground for eviction under the Andhra Pradesh Buildings (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control Act, 1960.
