(2) In 1968 the tenant Mohammed Din died leaving behind a widow, three sons and two daughters. In January, 1975 the widow also died. On 27th February, 1976, one of the tenant's son and daughter, namely, Saleemuddin and Mst. Ameequan, filed objections under ss. 3 and 4 of the Delhi Rent Control (Amendment) Act, 1976. They claimed that they were covered by the definition of the term 'tenant' and could not therefore be ejected in execution of the eviction order. On 26th March, 1976, the Additional Rent Controller dismissed their objections as not maintainable. As the decree of eviction was passed against Mohammed Din in his life time the right of tenancy could not devolve on his heirs. This in short was the answer to the objections.
