Caretaker Possession Lacks Legal Protection Without Title or Lease | No Injunction Granted on Mere Occupation : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court has ruled that long-standing or affectionate possession by a caretaker, without any legal title or lease, cannot justify an injunction against the true owner. Possession must be surrendered upon demand, reinforcing that mere physical control does not equate to lawful right under property law - a critical clarification for landlords, property managers, and tenants in urban disputes.
