Gift Deed Automatically Transfers Landlord Rights Under WB Premises Tenancy Act, 1997 : Calcutta HC
Calcutta High Court rules that a gift deed under the Transfer of Property Act confers landlord status under the West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act, 1997, without explicit assignment. Tenants failing to contest termination notices under Section 2(g) are deemed trespassers, reinforcing the automatic transfer of tenancy rights.
