https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=311292 Section 25B requires a tenant seeking leave to contest to disclose a clear, specific, bona fide defence that, if proved, would defeat eviction; vague or dilatory pleas do not justify leave. Under section 14(1)(e), ordinary tenant defences remain available, including disputes on relationship, ownership, bona fide requirement, alternative accommodation, notice, and slum permission, but section 14A is confined to its own statutory conditions and excludes those ordinary defences. "Dwelling-house" under section 14A means the whole residential house, including functionally and structurally integrated units, and a landlord owning more than one must identify the house claimed. Revisional interference under section 25B(8) is limited to legality and jurisdictional error, not reappreciation of facts. en-us Wed, 22 Sep 1976 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 18 Dec 2023 16:54:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=311292 Section 25B requires a tenant seeking leave to contest to disclose a clear, specific, bona fide defence that, if proved, would defeat eviction; vague or dilatory pleas do not justify leave.
