Momtaz Begum v. Madan Hait - (High Court of Calcutta) (19 Aug 2015)

Civil Courts in West Bengal have authority to entertain tenant's application for repair of premises

MANU/WB/0682/2015

Tenancy

The West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act, 1997 does not exclude jurisdiction of the Civil Court in an application to facilitate urgent repair work. A civil suit for declaration of tenancy rights was filed by the tenant, with an application for repair of the premises filed subsequently. The landlord contended that the Civil Court did not have jurisdiction, which rested with the rent controller, to commission a local investigation of the premises. On an harmonious interpretation of the Act, 1997, the Court held that the law did not ascribe to a 'multiplicity of proceedings', and the Civil Court's jurisdiction in such matters was not excluded.
