S. 106 TP Act | 15 Days' Notice To 'Tenant Holding Over' A Must Before Eviction: Orissa High Court

The Orissa High Court ruled that a 15-day notice period is mandatory for eviction of tenants under Section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act. The case arose from a tenant eviction dispute where the tenant argued that the landlord did not provide the necessary notice. The Court clarified that a clear 15-day notice period is required to terminate a lease or tenancy agreement. This ruling ensures that tenants' rights are protected from abrupt eviction without sufficient notice, reaffirming the necessity of due process in landlord-tenant relations. The judgment underlines the importance of compliance with legal norms in property disputes and emphasizes the tenant’s right to fair treatment.
