Tenancy Area Determined by Rent Paid and Plaintiff's Admission, Not Speculative Structural Inference | Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court ruled that the extent of let-out premises in a tenancy dispute must be fixed by the rent paid and the landlord's own admission in pleadings, rejecting the trial court's unsupported calculation based on unverified truss assumptions. This sets a critical precedent for landlords and tenants: documentary evidence of rent and self-serving statements carry more weight than conjectural architectural interpretations in property disputes.
