Section 111(g) TPA | Mere Dispute of Landlord’s Title Without Unequivocal Denial Does Not Trigger Forfeiture : Delhi HC

Delhi High Court clarifies that a tenant’s mere questioning of a landlord’s derivative title-without explicit denial of tenancy-does not constitute forfeiture under Section 111(g) of the Transfer of Property Act. The ruling reinforces tenant protections under Section 50 of the Delhi Rent Control Act, barring eviction unless the tenant outright repudiates the landlord’s title.
