George Zacharig @ Raju Karuvamplakka vs T.K Varghese & Another on 25 October, 1994

In the decision in George v. Varghese, 1976 Ker LT 859 a single Judge of this Court has held that even though the leased out property is destroyed the tenancy is not automatically terminated. In that case the rented building was destroyed by fire and the lessee vacated the premises and started his business in another building. When the landlord constructed new building at the old premises, the original tenant claimed possession of the building contending that the lease survives. In that case this Court has held that even though the leased out property is destroyed the tenancy is not automatically terminated and the tenant is conferred with an option under Section 108 (e) of the T. P. Act to treat the contract as void and thereby avoid the liability to pay the rent in future. But he has neither a contractual nor a statutory right to compel the landlord to surrender possession of the new building constructed at that site.
