Right of Reentry and Possession - Once the landlord or authorized officer exercises the right of reentry upon lease termination, the lessee cannot seek to regain possession. The landlord's right to retain or recover possession is lost after reentry, and the paramount lessor acquires the right to take possession. Bharat Sales LTD. VS Lakshmi Devi - Supreme Court, Soma Rani vs Lt. Governor of Delhi - Delhi
Validity and Effects of Reentry - Reentry is valid if exercised properly; premature or unlawful reentry can be challenged, but once exercised according to legal procedures, the lessee cannot revert to possession. Receipt of rent after lease expiry may amount to waiver of forfeiture, but reentry itself, if lawful, terminates the lessee's possession. Amar Promoters VS J. S. A. Gajendra Reddy - Karnataka, Md. Shahnawaz Khan VS Shaik Shajahan Hossain - Calcutta
Lease Termination and Exercise of Rights - The exercise of renewal options or rights of reentry depends on proper notice and adherence to contractual terms. Failure to exercise reentry or renewal rights within stipulated periods generally results in loss of those rights, and subsequent possession by the lessee is deemed lawful unless reentry was validly carried out. State Of U. P. VS Lalji Tandon (Dead) - Supreme Court, Indian Press Pvt. Limited VS State of U. P. - Allahabad
Legal Authority and Procedure - Reentry must be carried out by authorized officers or through proper legal channels. Unauthorized or illegal reentry, or reentry without following statutory procedures, can be challenged in courts, but once validly exercised, the lessee cannot seek to regain possession. Anant Vishnu Muley VS State of Maharashtra - Bombay, ANSAL AND SAIGAL PROPERTIES PRIVATE LIMITED VS L. AND D. O. - Delhi, Sanjay Singh VS Patna Municipal Corporation - Patna
Effect of Holding Over - If a lessee remains in possession after lease expiry without reentry, the lessor's right to re-enter may be affected, but lawful reentry terminates the lessee's possession, preventing subsequent claims to possession. Indian Press Pvt. Limited VS State of U. P. - Allahabad
Analysis and Conclusion:
Once the right of reentry has been properly exercised by the landlord or authorized officer, the lessee cannot seek to regain possession. The legal process of reentry terminates the lessee's rights, and subsequent attempts to reclaim possession are generally barred. Proper procedures and authority are essential for reentry to be effective; otherwise, the reentry can be challenged. Therefore, exercising the right of reentry conclusively ends the lessee's possession rights, aligning with legal principles outlined in the cited sources.
