Vinod Khanna And Ors. vs Bakshi Sachdev on 20 April, 1995
In the case of M/s. Madan v. Wazir J.V. Chand the Apex Court has held that all that a landlord can do is to comply with the provision is to post a pre-paid registered letter (acknowledgement due or otherwise) containing the tenant's correct address and that once the same is done and a letter is delivered to the post office, he has no control over it and that it can then be presumed to have been delivered to the addressee under Section 27 of the General Clauses Act. The above being the settled law and in the present case it having been proved by the plaintiffs that a notice as envisaged under Section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act having been issued by the plaintiffs to the concerned defendants at their residential address in accordance with law, it can well be presumed under the aforesaid provisions - statutory as well as case laws that the said notices have been duly served on the said defendants and therefore, in that view of the matter we do not find any infirmity to interfere with the findings of the learned Trial Court that the notice terminating the tenancy was duly, properly and validly served on the defendants.
