https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=308211 A tenant claiming pre-emption under Section 15(1)(a) fourthly of the Punjab Pre-emption Act, 1913 must retain the qualifying status of tenant not only on the date of sale and suit, but also on the date of decree. The Supreme Court noted that a valid ejectment order under Section 9 of the Punjab Security of Land Tenures Act, 1953 terminates the landlord-tenant relationship, and actual dispossession is not required for tenancy to end. Because the claimants had ceased to be tenants before the pre-emption decree was passed, they no longer satisfied the statutory qualification, and the pre-emption claim could not be sustained. en-us Mon, 21 Jul 1975 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 07 Jun 2023 16:32:57 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=308211 A tenant claiming pre-emption under Section 15(1)(a) fourthly of the Punjab Pre-emption Act, 1913 must retain the qualifying status of tenant not only on the date of sale and suit, but also on the date of decree.
