Occupancy right
Occupancy right, occupancy rights are creatures of statutes, or to be more precise the creatures of custom adopted by statute, which by defining the nature of the evidence, which a person claiming such rights is required to adduce, have extended such rights to a larger class of ryots. They are creatures of custom or of statute only in the sense that acquisition of such rights by ryots does not depend upon the bounty or gift of the landlord, but they can be acquired against his will. This does not imply that the landlord cannot by grant confer on his tenant, rights exactly similar to rights of occupancy. He can in his grant define rights which he is granting to his tenant, by mentioning in detail in the different clauses of the Patta the exact incidents of the rights he is granting. If he does so, the ryot or tenant would get these rights, Jogendra Narayan Dhar v. Askarulla, AIR 1937 Cal 27: 169 IC 700....
