#Tenancy Protection

Allahabad High Court rules that tenants seeking protection under U.P. Act No. 13 of 1972 must substantiate pre-1985 construction with documentary proof, not mere assertions. The judgment reinforces the burden of proof on tenants in rent control disputes, impacting eviction proceedings across Uttar Pradesh.

Bombay HC Aurangabad Bench rules that a tenant’s deposit of rent arrears before the first hearing under Section 12(3) of the Bombay Rent Control Act defeats eviction on grounds of default. The ruling reinforces tenant protections by mandating strict compliance with statutory deposit timelines to avoid eviction.
