Enemy Property (Lands and Buildings) Administration and Disposal Order,
1966
The revisional Court acted beyond its jurisdiction in setting aside the
concurrent finding of fact both the trial and the Appellate Court– Both
the trial Court and the Appellate Court after due consideration of the
materials on record came to concurrent findings that the
plaintiff-appellant failed to establish the existence of the landlord and
tenant relationship in between them since there is neither any positive
evidence to such fact nor there is any allegation of the case of holding
over after demise of landlord, Dhirendra Nath Sen and Shibsankar Mitra, the
predecessor of the plaintiff. Thus, the revisional Court acted beyond its
jurisdiction in setting aside the concurrent finding of fact and there is
misreading and misappreciation of the evidence on record regarding fact of
the case. Consequently, the judgment and order of the High Court Division
is set aside and thereby the concurrent finding and decision of the two
Courts below are restored. ...Sangit Parishad, Chittagong =VS= Prabir

In absence of any stipulation in the agreement for lease it is difficult to

be adjusted from the salami money, if the same was at all paid. .....Imam

Premises Rent Control Act, 1953
S. 10(2)(c)(ii): Requirement for the use of brother would not satisfy the
condition of the section— Requirement of the premises by the landlord for
the use of his brother would not satisfy the condition of section 1
0(2)(c)(ii) of the Act, in the absence of anything to show that the
premises were held by him for the benefit of his brother.
Abdullah Baloch vs. Adam Ali (1961) 13 DLR (SC) 13.
S. 14(3), cl.(h).
The necessary condition for interference by the Controller under clause (h)
of section 14(3) of the Act in a case like the present is that, in his
opinion, the rent at present fixed for any premises is not just and fair.
In such a case, he may fix a standard rent at such amount as, having regard
to the provisions of the Act and the circumstances of the case, he deems
just. Bearing in mind the proviso to the definition of “standard rent”,
the result might be that in a case of the present kind the “standard
rent” is any rent which the Controller might think to be just in his
uncontrolled discretion. Such a conclusion would, however, run contrary to
the nature of the Act, which provides with great particularity, in regard
to a large number of specific cases the manner in which the “standard
rent” shall be ascertained.
Md. Taher Ali Vs. Hari Pada Roy Chowdhury, (1959) 11 DLR (SC) 193.
S. 17(i)(e) — ‘Certificate’ of controller must satisfy all formal
requirement of law: Landlord’s plea that he required the premises
bonafide for personal use negatived by Rent Controller but he granted
certificate on the ground thaw landlord required the premises for
re-construction purpose and in so saying the Rent Controller not use the
words “reasonably and in good faith Certificate invalid in law.

Section 10
As admittedly, the suit was filed by the Plaintiff-Petitioner for eviction
of the Defendant-Respondent without seeking any remedy as to the
determination of the possessory right of the shop in question but the
Courts below as well the High Court Division without any coherent rationale
attached recognition to the so called possessory right of the Defendant-
Respondent which is nothing but insignificant, hence, Appellate Division
finds legal infirmity in dismissing the suit, holding monetary transaction
was for sell of possession seems to us in a suit for eviction is nothing
but superfluous. It, rather, amounts to passing preventive decree in favour
of the Defendant in the plaintiff's suit for eviction of monthly tenant.
––If the transferors and purchasers or possession holders before
purchase of possession of any property comply with the provisions of
section 55 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, Section 10 of the
Premises Rent Control Act, 1991 as well as Registration Act, 1908.
––Accordingly, the leave petition is disposed of. The impugned judgment
and order of the High Court Division and both the Courts below are set
aside. The suit is decreed. .....Rahima Begum =VS= Md. Zahidul Islam,

An admission must be in clear, consistent and unambiguous terms:
An admission is an acceptance or endorsement of a claim or statement of the
opposite parties which is against the interest of the party making the
admission. Admission is an important legal evidence which does not require
further prove and can be used against its maker. As such, an admission must
be in clear, consistent and unambiguous terms. For making an admission
there must have a specific claim or statement of the opposite party which
can be admitted. ...Kazi Sanaul Karim Vs. Advocate Md. Mozammel Haque &

served upon sub-tenant —
Sale of possession of the premises by tenant is not recognised in law in
Bangladesh even though there may be such practice in any area of the
country. Such sale of possession may at best create sub-tenancy. Notice

The judgment-debtor laid an application under section 46 of the Code of
Civil Procedure to direct the decree-holder to complete construction of the
proposed market within six months and also to pass necessary direction
under section 18(4) of the Premises Rent Control Act, 1991 to the
decree-holder to let out a specific shop room to the judgment-debtor as per
approved plan in view of the observation made by the Appellate Division.
Undisputedly, the judgment-debtor is still occupying the possession of the
premises as a result of which the plaintiff did not get vacant possession
of the premises and, as such, the question of construction of the building
within a specified period or to undertake to let out a shop room to the
judgment-debtor does not arise.
