Shop Cum Flat
Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Shop-cum-flat, the expression 'shop-cum-flat' does not always mean that the ground floor of the building is meant for shops and the first and the higher floors are residential accommodation in the building. The correct approach would be to refer to the context in which the expression appears and then construe it , Shabir Ahmad v. Sham Lal, AIR 2002 SC 1036 (1039): (2002) 3 SCC 118.
