Heritability of a Monthly Tenancy

 

The predecessor of the plaintiff-respondents, Abdul Sattar Chowdhury brought the aforesaid suit for eviction of the appellants from the suit premises only on the ground that their predecessor-in-interest Han Sanker Talukder, who was admittedly a monthly tenant in the suit premises, had died on 21.2.86 and therefore the tenancy, not being heritable, came to an end and they are bound to quit—Held: The defendants could not be evicted on the ground that the relationship of landlord and tenant had ceased with the death of the defendants’ predecessor, Hari Sankar Talukder and the tenancy was not heritable.
