Section 70(b) Bombay Tenancy Act | Oral Evidence Alone Insufficient to Prove Permanent Tenancy Without Documentary Proof: Bombay HC
Bombay High Court reinforces that claims of permanent tenancy under Section 70(b) of the Bombay Tenancy Act require consistent documentary evidence of 35-year cultivation and rent payment. Oral testimony and disputed revenue records, without corroboration, fail to establish tenancy rights, setting a strict evidentiary standard for tenancy disputes.
