Reported in: AIR2002Bom462; 2002(6)BomCR415

R.J. Kochar, J.1. Like economics very often law also makes common sense difficult. The economists expound several theories and the lawyers formulate several propositions of law based on Judicial pronouncements and their own legal acumen. Otherwise the word 'family' is not difficult to comprehend as legislated in Section 5(11)(c) of the Bombay Rents, Hotel and Lodging House Rates Control Act, 1947 (the Bombay Rents Act). Both the learned counsel have cited innumerable Judgments in support of their respective contentions for interpretation of simple words 'any member of the tenant's family........' occuring in that section.2. In addition to the rulings of the Supreme Court and our High Court both the learned counsel have extensively read out to me a recent Judgment of the Appeal Court of United Kingdom reported in (1997) 4 All ER 991 Fitzpatric v. Sterling Housing Association. With respect to the Appeal Court I am not referring to the said judgment as in my humble opinion our social and ...
