Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Apr-08-1980

Reported in: AIR1980Cal204

B.N. Maitra, J.1. The plaintiff has alleged that he is the owner of the disputed tank fishery. The defendants are tenants at will only in respect to the Jalkar Jama in that tank excluding its banks.

The tenancy was determined by a notice to quit. But the defendants did not give up that Jalkar right. Hence the suit for ejectment, for recovery of arrears of rent and also for recovery of mesne profits.2. The defendants filed a written statement denying the plaintiff's allegations.
