[Maharashtra Rent Control Act] Govt Allottee Will Qualify As Deemed Tenant Only On Legal Possession Of Requisitioned Premises: Bombay HC

Bombay High Court interpreted the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, stating that a government allottee in legal possession of requisitioned premises is deemed a tenant. The court clarified the status of individuals occupying properties that were initially requisitioned by the government and subsequently allotted to them. This ruling has implications for the rights and obligations of such allottees under the state's rent control legislation, potentially granting them greater security of tenure and protection against arbitrary eviction as deemed tenants under the Act.
