Premises
Premises (pr'missa), in logic, propositions antecedently supposed or proved. In a deed the 'premises' are all the parts preceding the habendum.

It is, however, often used as meaning land or houses.For the statutory meaning, see particular statutes, e.g., (English) Public Health Act, 1875, s. 4, where 'premises' includes messuages, buildings, lands, easements, tenements and hereditaments of any tenure.Include any shop, stall, or place where any article of good is sold or manufactured or stored for sale.

Premises let for residential purposes
Premises let for residential purposes, the premises let for residential purposes should be construed liberally and not technically or narrowly; meaning thereby, where the premises are solely let for residential purposes they are undoubtedly covered by s. 14(1) (e) but even when the premises are let out for composite or mixed purposes if the predominant or main purpose of letting is for residential purposes, the same would be included within the expression 'the premises let for residential purposes.'

From any premises
From any premises, The words 'from any premises' cannot be connected with the phrase 'for the fixation of standard rent', because then the preposition would have been 'of any premises' or 'for any premises' and not 'from any premises'. This means that the first phrase has to be read as complete in itself beginning from the words 'for the fixation' and ending with the words 'standard rent'. The second phrase then reads 'or for the eviction of a tenant from any premises'. The words 'from any premises' go very clearly with the words 'eviction of a tenant' and not with the words 'any suit or proceeding', Jai Narain v. Kishanchand, AIR 1969 SC 1165: (1969) 1 SCC 1165: (1969) 3 SCR 854....

Vis major force majeure usual, the expression 'force majeure' is not a mere French version of the Latin expression 'vis major'. It is undoubtedly a term of wider import. Difficulties have arisen in the past as to what could legitimately be included in 'force majeure'. Judges has agreed that strikes, break-down of machinery, which, though normally not included in 'vis major' are included in 'force majeure'. Where reference is made to 'force majeure', the intention is to save the performing party from the consequences of anything over which he has no control. This is the widest meaning that can be given to 'force majeure', and even if this be the meaning, it is obvious that the condition about 'force majeure' in the agreement was not vague.
