Bombay High Court Upholds Legal Heir's Tenancy Rights in Dadar Parsi Colony Dispute
The Bombay High Court upheld the tenancy rights of Katty Mistry, recognizing her as the legal heir and tenant of a flat in Dadar's Parsi Colony after the death of tenant Baji B. Patel in 1993. The court ruled that an heir need not reside with the deceased tenant to inherit tenancy rights under the Bombay Rent Act. The Parsi Punchayet Trust had contested her claim, alleging unlawful occupation and disputing her relationship with Patel, but lower courts and the High Court dismissed these challenges.
