Maharashtra Rent Control Act | Civil Court Jurisdiction Retained When Tenancy Denied as Trespass : Bombay HC
Bombay HC rules that civil courts retain jurisdiction over property disputes where a landlord denies tenancy and treats the occupant as a trespasser, despite the Rent Act's bar on civil court intervention. The judgment clarifies that the Rent Act's exclusive jurisdiction clause does not apply when the landlord-tenant relationship itself is disputed.
