Punjab HC lets tenant stay after Canadian landlord fails to prove house completion date
A Canadian NRI landlord sought to reclaim his rented property in Punjab, but the High Court ruled in favour of the tenant. The landlord had based his claim on the purchase of the plot in 2012, but could not legally establish when construction on the property was completed. Under the applicable Act, proof of completion requires either a completion intimation or a property-tax assessment, neither of which the landlord produced. The Rent Controller had also failed to make a specific finding on this key issue. As a result, the HC allowed the tenant to continue occupying the premises.
