Mortgagee in Possession Cannot Evict Tenants Solely on Auction Sale | Tenancy Protected Under Jharkhand Rent Control Act : Jharkhand HC
The court ruled that a purchaser at a mortgage auction steps into the shoes of the mortgagor and cannot displace statutory tenants without invoking specific grounds under the Jharkhand Building (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control Act. The judgment protects shop owners and tenants from summary eviction following a secured creditor's sale of the property.
