Court of India in a case titled as D. Satyanarayan Vs. P.
Jagdish, AIR 1987 SC 2192 wherein it has been held in para 3
and 4 that:
"3........ Section 116 of the Evidence Act provides that no
tenant of immovable property shall, during the
continuance of the tenancy, be permitted to deny that the
landlord of such tenant had, at the beginning of the
tenancy, a title to such immovable property. Possession
and permission being established, estoppal would bind the
tenant during the continuance of the tenancy and until he
surrenders his possession. The words' during continuance
of the possession that was received under the tenancy in
question, and the courts have repeatedly laid down that
estoppal operates even after the termination of the tenancy
so that a tenant who had been let into possession, however,
defective it may be, so long as he had not openly
surrendered possession, cannot dispute the title of the
landlord at the commencement of the tenancy. The rule of
estoppel is thus restricted not only in extent but also in
time i.e. restricted to the title of the landlord and during
the continuance of the tenancy; and by necessary
implication, it follows that a tenant is not estopped, when
he is under threat of eviction by the title paramount, form
contending that the landlord had no title before the
tenancy commenced or that the title of the landlord has
since come to an end."
