The West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act, 1997
Note : The malaise experienced in the operation of the W.B. Premises Tenancy Act, 1956 exposed the failure of that statute to meet the social needs of the people and now comes the present statute of 1997 keeping due regard to the prevailing feeling among the people to be free to bargain and contract and exempting certain tenancies from the applicability of the Act. The author makes an indepth study of the legislation and exhaustive exposure has been made to the new features of the statute. The book will serve as a constant guide to the practitioners including the lawmakers.
• Tenancies cease to be heritable
