#thika tenancy

Calcutta High Court rules that a mere reference to 'thika property' in pleadings is insufficient to trigger vesting under the 1981 Act. The defendant must specifically allege facts meeting the statutory definition of thika tenancy to challenge a registered sale deed, failing which the sale remains valid.

Calcutta High Court directs West Bengal Land Reforms and Tenancy Tribunal to decide vacating application and original dispute within June 2026, emphasizing strict adherence to timelines.
