Estoppel Bars Licensee from Denying Locus of Partnership Firm as Lessor | Even When Title Is in Partner’s Name: Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court ruled that a licensee who previously acknowledged a partnership firm as the licensor cannot later deny its legal standing to file an eviction suit, even if the property title rests solely with an individual partner. This reinforces that admissions in lease dealings bind licensees under estoppel, protecting partnership entities from tactical legal reversals in eviction proceedings.
