Shivram Ladu Nitardekar vs Alex Fernandes And Ors. on 2 September, 2005
7. On the other hand, Mr. C.A. Coutinho has submitted that in the case of Hind Rubber Industries (P) Ltd. v. Tayebhai Mohammedbhai Bagasarwalla (supra) as well as in T. Lakshmipathi and Ors. v. P. Nithyananda Reddy and Ors. (supra) the landlords had reconstructed the premises and they were available to be let out to the tenants and, therefore, the said cases are clearly distinguishable. Mr. Coutinho has further submitted that in the case at hand, the tenanted premises have ceased to exist due to natural causes and the plaintiff himself is out of possession of the land on which the said premises existed and, therefore, the plaintiff is not entitled to recover either the premises or the land on which they stood.
