Section 13-B of 1949 Rent Act Inapplicable to Tenancies After 2013 : P&H HC
The Punjab and Haryana High Court held that an ejectment petition filed under the repealed East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949 is not maintainable for a tenancy that commenced after the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 came into force on 30 November 2013.
