Smt.Vidyavathi vs Sri.Mohammed Farooq Sait on 30 June, 2020
The tenant in such a suit is estopped from questioning the
title of the landlord under section 116 of the Evidence Act.
The tenant cannot deny that the landlord had title to the
premises at the commencement of the tenancy. Under the
general law in a suit between landlord and tenant the
question of title to the leased property is irrelevant.
