Decided On : 09-09-2016
Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 - Section 100 - Decree of eviction has been passed against the respondent - Plaintiff is entitled for mesne profit - Plaintiff - Kishore Kumar filed a suit for eviction against the defendant/respondent inter alia alleging that he is in possession of a residential house and the plaintiff has rented out one room and kitchen constructed on the first floor of the said premises to defendant - Held, As the most crucial issue of relationship of landlord and tenant is not found to have established between the parties, question No.2 is replied in negative - This was the basic issue whereupon the whole edifice of the appeal was dependent, but in view of the above mentioned discussions, the said relationship is not found proved - Next substantial question of law is related to the aspect whether the tenancy in question was properly determined by the lessor by serving a notice under Section 106 of T.P. Act - This question would have been relevant, had the relationship of landlord and tenant been found proved - But when no such relationship is established, the question of terminating the tenancy by proper service of notice under Section 106 of T.P. Act is of no significance - This question is replied accordingly - Petition dismissed.
