JUDGMENT
Pratap, J.
1. Arising for determination in this appeal by the original plaintiffs is a question of some importance under the
Bombay Rents, Hotel and Lodging House Rates Control Act, 1947 (hereinafter the Act).
2. Since the year 1950 or so the defendant (respondent) herein has been plaintiff's tenant of room No. 18 on
the first floor of a building known as Morarji Goculdas Deoji Trust Building situated at Kennedy Bridge in
the city of Bombay. In or about October 1968, the defendant purchased a car which he commenced parking in
the open space of the compound of the said building. The plaintiffs objected. As many as three notices were
issued to remove the car from the said compound and cease parking it there. The plaintiffs thereupon filed the
instant suit for a declaration that the defendant, by parking his car in the compound, was committing trespass
and for permanent injunction restraining him from doing so. The defendant raised two defences viz, (a) he
was parking the car under express permission from one of the trustees; and (b) in any event, he had, under the
Act, a statutory right to do so. The trial Court negatived both these defences, held the defendant's action to
constitute a trespass and decreed the suit.
3. The defendant appealed to this Court. At the hearing, the trial Court's finding that the defendant had failed
to prove permission to park was not challenged. The learned single Judge hearing the appeal, however, held
that the ground floor open space in the compound of the building was "appurtenant" to the leased 'room on the
first floor within the meaning of S. 5(8)(b) of the Act and, therefore, "premises" as defined therein. It was also
held that parking car was an essential service within the meaning of S. 24(1) of the Act and the plaintiffs'
therefore, cannot cut off or withhold the same. The defendant was consequently held to have a statutory right
to park his car without any permission from the plaintiffs. The appeal was thus allowed, the trial Court's
decree was set aside and the suit dismissed. Hence, this appeal therefrom under the Letters Patent.
4. The plaintiffs are represented by their learned counsel Mr. K. J. Abhyankar. The defendant, though served,
has not chosen to appear.
5. Hearing the learned counsel Mr. Abhyankar and going through the impugned judgment and the relevant
provisions of the Act, we find ourselves unable to agree with the reasoning and conclusion reached by the
learned single Judge. The question first arising for determination is :
Is the open space on the ground floor in the compound of the suit building "appurtenant" to the leased
premises viz, the room on the first floor within the meaning of S. 5(8) of the Act?
To the extent relevant, the said provision runs thus :
"'Premises' means --
.................. .................... ...................
(b) any building or part of a building let or given on licence separately (other than a farm building) including
---

Indian Kanoon - http://indiankanoon.org/doc/1704232/ 1(i) the garden, grounds, garages and out-houses, if any, appurtenant to such building or part of a building.
........................ ......................... "
Now, though one wishes that on the question here the law was certain and succinct, it would, in the very
nature of things, not be possible to formulate a precise and singular test or a principle of universal application
for determining what is appurtenant. The diversity and the indeterminate nature of the term "appurtenant" and
colour, form and shape it can take from case to case can be very interesting indeed. It is a term of variable
import, scope and ambit. There can, therefore, be no fixed, invariable or strait-jacket approach or formula in
this regard. Besides, whether a thing is appurtenant and if so, to what extent, would be a mixed question of
fact and law. The resultant answer must, in each case, turn and depend upon the facts and circumstances of
that case and the context in which the question arises. Nevertheless, a look at the standard references should
be useful.
6. In Words And Phrases Judicially Defined (Butterworth & Co.) it is stated thus :
"The word 'appurtenances' has a distinct and definite meaning, and though it may be enlarged by the context,
yet the burden of proof lies on those who so contend. Prima facie, it imports nothing more than what is strictly
appertaining to the subject-matter of the devise or grant, and which would, in truth, pass without being
specially mentioned."
On this aspect, a statement of the law in Halsbury's Laws of England (Fourth Edition, Volume 27, page 103
paragraph 130) can also assist:
"Meaning of 'house', 'messuage' and 'appurtenances'.
"By a lease of a 'house' outbuildings occupied with and necessary for the convenient occupation of the house
will pass. and also a courtyard, garden and orchard. 'Messuage' has the same meaning as 'house'. In the
expression 'house and premises', 'premises' refers only to matters intimately connected with the house. The
words 'with the appurtenances' do not extend the demise so as to include land or buildings which are used with
the demised property, but are not parcel of it; nor do they include a part of the building which has been
separated from it and has not been occupied with it for many years previous to the demise.
The words 'lands appertaining to' or 'lands belonging to' are more easily extended to land usually occupied
with the demised premises."
Yet another inkling in this field can be had from Woodfall's Law of Landlord and Tenant (Twentyeighth
Edition, Volume 1, 1979). Firstly at page 195.
"According to the current of the most recent decisions it would seem that nothing will pass under the word
'appurtenances' which would not equally pass by a conveyance of the principal subject-matter, without the
word 'appurtenances'."
And then at page 197:
"The word 'appurtenances' is not properly apt for the creation of a new right; but the word easily admits of a
secondary meaning, where the circumstances require, as equivalent to 'usually occupied'. Where a strip of
ground formed a convenient means of access to the back doors of a row of cottages which were in common
ownership, and the cottages were sold to different purchasers, each grant being of a cottage 'with the garden,
outbuildings and appurtenances' and including the part of the strip adjoining that cottage, it was held that the
right of way defendants facto enjoyed by the tenants up to the date of the conveyances passed by way of
express grant under the word 'appurtenances', although there was no made road over the strip."
Moraji Goculdas Deoji Trust And ... vs Madhav Vithal Kudwa on 23 November, 1982
Indian Kanoon - http://indiankanoon.org/doc/1704232/ 2The Oxford English Dictionary explains "appurtenance" as follows :---
"A thing that belongs to another, a 'belonging'; a minor property, right, or privilege, belonging to another more
important, and passing in possession with it; an appendage."
"A thing which naturally and fifty forms a subordinate part of, or belongs to, a whole system; a contributory
adjunct. an accessory."
And the word "appurtenant" is explained thus:
" belonging as a property or legal right; constituting a property or right subsidiary to one which is more
important."
"Appertaining as if by right; proper, suited, or appropriate to; relating, pertinent."
"A thing appertaining; a 'belonging.'"
The New Webster's Dictionary of the English Language explains the two terms "appurtenance" and
"appurtenant" as follows :--
" 'appurtenance' --- .......... a belonging, That which appertains, belongs, or is subordinate to something else; an
adjunct; an appendage. A right or feature belonging to a properly and passing with it if the property is sold."
" 'Appurtenant' --- ............. Appertaining or belonging having the effect of a legal accompaniment."
7. In the context of S. 5(8)(b) of the Act, the term "appurtenant" has to be construed not in its primary sense
but in its secondary, non-technical sense such as "usually enjoyed with." The concept indicates something
appurtenant to the lease and not the lease itself. So construed, it would mean "relating to", "adjoining", "an
adjunct or an accessory" to the premises let. Plain meaning of the provision simplicities indicates a nexus
between the premises leased and the premises appurtenant thereto. There has to be a fair and rational
correlation between the two. Premises to be appurtenant must be premises inevitably implied in and essential
to the use and enjoyment of the premises let. Not a constituent part of the lease, but necessary for the
convenient enjoyment of the lease and, therefore, intended to be "premises" within its definition in S. 5(8)(b)
of the Act.
8. Considered in this contact, what would be the position here? Is it possible, reasonably speaking, to hold that
the open space in the compound on the ground floor of the suit building is appurtenant tot he leased room on
the first floor? The obvious answer is no. The very location of the leased premise on the first floor negatives
the defendant's case. After all, to what extent can the term "appurtenant" go? Can it here be extended tot he
open space in the compound on the ground floor? We think not. Is this ground floor space necessary for the
convenient enjoyment of the room on the first floor? Once again, our answer is no. it would be a misnomer to
describe the ground floor area as appurtenant to the first floor room. The ground floor area neither pertains nor
relates to nor adjoins the first floor room. Nor can it legitimately be said that the ground floor area is usually
enjoyed or occupied with the first floor room. It is neither an adjunct nor an accessory nor an appendage qua
the first floor room.
9. Coming to the authorities cited before the learned single Judge, we feel, with great respect, that it would not
be correct to infer an conclude therefrom in favour of the defendant. Apart from the position that altogether
different were the facts as also the context in which the question arose in those cases, even the broad ratio
emerging therefrom does not help the defendant here. Indeed, it supports the plaintiffs. If the "appurtenant"
premise is actually let out, then of course, irrespective of whether it is or is not appurtenant, it obviously is
part and parcel of the lease itself. That was precisely the position in Trim v. Sturminister Rural District
Moraji Goculdas Deoji Trust And ... vs Madhav Vithal Kudwa on 23 November, 1982
Indian Kanoon - http://indiankanoon.org/doc/1704232/ 3Council, (1938) 2 KB 508, where the ten acres of grass land ahd been actually let out for years past along with
the cottage, garden and orchard as one unit initially to a dairy farmer and thereafter to a poultry farmer. Yet,
even so, when later on ---- apparently after the expiry of the lease --- question arose whether these ten acres
were appurtenant to the cottage, garden and orchard, it was held that:
"................. The learned county judge was wrong in holding that the word 'appurtenances' included the ten
acres. How much of the adjacent land ought to be included in the word 'appurtenances,' depends on the facts
of the particular case."
It is difficult, therefore. to see how this case can be of any help to the defendant. On the contrary, the ruling
goes to show that in any event the entire ten acres of land was not appurtenant to the cottage, garden and
orchard in question. And to determine on the facts and circumstances of that case how much of the adjacent
land could be legitimately called appurtenant, the matter was sent back to the county judge.
10. In the Madras ruling J. High. Irani v. Chidambaran Chettiar, , the plaintiff ahd obtained a lease of the suit
land excluding the theatre thereon known as Gaiety Theatre which was owned by defendant No. 1. The land
lease in favour of the plaintiff was to come into effect after termination of the subsisting lease in favour of
defendant No. 1. As defendant No. 1 did not remove the theatre structure and did not give vacant possession
of the land, the plaintiff filed suit to recover vacant possession after removal of the theatre structure.
Defendant No. 1 contended that the plaintiff was not entitled to evict him because what was leased to him
(defendant No. 1) viz.. the suit land, was a "building" within the meaning of S. 2(1) of the Madras Buildings
(Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1946 and he (defendant No. 1) was, therefore, protected by the said Act and not
liable to be evicted by way of such a suit. In that case, the definition of "building" in S. 2 (1) of the aforesaid
Act meant not only any building as such' but also included the garden, grounds and outhouses, if any,
appurtenant thereto. Thus, ground or land appurtenant to a building was also itself a building under the Act.
The learned trial Judge dismissed the suit holding (at p. 652):
"Having regard to the wide connotation that was given to the word 'building', the purpose for which the
Madras Building (Lease and Rent Control) Act was enacted the nature of the structures in the suit premises
and the manner in which the entire premises were being let out and used for a number of years. at any rate.
from 1914, and the purpose for which the building was taken on rent by the lessee from time to time leave no
doubt in my mind that the suit premises come within the meaning of the word 'building' under the Madras
Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1946".
In the plaintiff's appeal, the Division Bench affirmed this finding and conclusion. It was held that a building
consisted not only of the superstructure (theatre) but also the site on which it stood and in which its foundation
is erected. Therefore, what in substance was let to defendant No. 1 was the entire property including the land
on which the theatre stood and which land formed part of the building. (See paragraph 13 of the ruling). It was
further held that the ground, if any, appurtenant to a building was included in the definition of "building" in
the Act. Consequently, if the entire ground was occupied for continuing the superstructure (theatre) along with
the lessor's building and the whole treated as one unit, the site may be treated as an appurtenance in the
secondary sense of the word. (See paragraph 15 of the ruling). Again, in paragraph 26 of the ruling. it was
observed thus:
"In my opinion the word 'appurtenant' occurring in the definition of 'building' in the Act with which we are
concerned is used in the broad secondary and non technical sense of 'relating to', 'usually enjoyed or occupied
with' and 'adjoining' just noticed by me. The idea of the legislature seems to be that if grounds appurtenant to
the building in this sense are let along with the building they should stand attracted to the operation of the
Act."
11. As in Trim's case (1938) 2 KB 508, so also in this case, it is difficult to see how it supports the defendant.
On the contrary and shorn of factors and elements not relevant hereto, the decision and ratio thereof favours
Moraji Goculdas Deoji Trust And ... vs Madhav Vithal Kudwa on 23 November, 1982
Indian Kanoon - http://indiankanoon.org/doc/1704232/ 4the plaintiffs. There is, indeed, a word of difference between a land adjoining or adjacent to or underneath a
structure as in the Madras ruling and land on the ground floor in relation to a room on the first floor as in the
present case. The former is a clear instance of land being appurtenant to the structure and the latter equally so
a clear instance but to the contrary viz., the land on the ground floor by no stretch being appurtenant to the
room on the first floor. Again, as in the Madras ruling, here also the word "appurtenant" is used in the
secondary sense. Thus, the authorities sought to be relied upon by the defendant do not really help him but
rather aid the plaintiffs. The principle of both these authorities runs counter to his case. His case is also not
based on any recognised principle of law. It also stands unsupported by any binding authority. It also cannot
be reconciled with justice. We, therefore, conclude this aspect against him and hold that the open space in the
compound of the suit building is not appurtenant to the leased suit room on the first floor and, therefore, does
not constitute "premises" within the meaning of S. 5(8)(b) of the Act.
12. Yet another ground on which the defendant claimed right to park his car -- and which claim also was
upheld by the learned single Judge -- was that car parking was an essential service within the meaning of S.
24(1) of the Act. We are afraid, here also, with great respect, we are unable to agree. S. 24(1) reads thus:
"No landlord either himself or through any person acting or purporting to act on his behalf shall without just
or sufficient cause cut off or withhold any essential supply or service enjoyed by the tenant in respect of the
premises let to him."
Now, to attract the said provision, the supply or service must be essential; it must have been, without just and
sufficient cause, cut off or withheld; it must have been enjoyed by the tenant; and it must be in respect of the
premises let to him. It is only on the fulfillment of these minimum ingredients that a case under S. 24(1) can
be said to have been made out. The defendant has failed to establish these conditions. In the first place, car
parking is itself not an essential supply or service. In objecting thereto. there is no question, therefore, of
cutting off or withholding any essential supply or service. What is more, on the facts here, car parking cannot
be said to be a service or supply:
"............. enjoyed by the tenant in respect of the premises let to him."
within the meaning of S. 24(1) of the Act. The said provision has thus no application to the present case.
Reliance placed thereon by the defendant can, therefore, be of no avail.
13. The defendant thus fails to prove that he has, as a result of either S. 5(8)(b) or S. 24(1) of the Act, a
statutory right to park his car in the suit compound. Even under the general law, we see no such right in him.
And finally, his plea of permission to park has also rightly stood rejected. The suit, being an action in trespass,
had been rightly decreed. Its reversal in appeal would, therefore, have to be rectified.
14. In the result, this appeal under the Letters Patent succeeds and is allowed. The impugned judgment and
decree in First Appeal No. 449 of 1971 is set aside and the decree passed by the trial Court in Suit No. 8776 is
restored and confirmed. In the circumstances of the case, however, there will be no order as to costs of this
appeal.
15. Appeal allowed.

Bombay High Court upholds conviction of man for defaming wife
Indulging in defamation is serious crime:
| 11:39 AM (8 hours ago)![]() | ![]() ![]() | ||
| ||||
Inability to prove his allegations that his wife committed adultery has cost a
Thane resident dear. The Bombay High Court recently upheld conviction, sentence
and compensation orders passed against a man in a defamation case filed by his
wife.
The orders passed by the lower courts “did not suffer from any illegality or perversity requiring any interference,” said Justice S C Dharmadhikari of the High Court, dismissing the husband’s appeal.
The husband, now 50 years old, was pronounced guilty of defaming his wife and sentenced to two months’ simple imprisonment by a Magistrate’s court in December 2007. He was also directed to pay Rs 3,000 to his wife as compensation. He moved the Sessions Court against this order, but his challenge was dismissed exactly a year ago.

1995 seeking divorce from his wife of seven years. Adultery was cited by the
husband as one of the grounds for seeking divorce.
The wife received a copy of the petition in December that year and was shocked to read the allegations. The petition said: “Despite all efforts made by the husband and paying monthly maintenance regularly, the wife was residing at her parents place. Her conduct was such that she has been having illicit relations with third persons. There are several people who have seen her having such illicit relations.”
It also alleged that when the husband got to know of all this and confronted his wife, she told him it was her wish and individual decision to have physical relations with whomever she chose and that was none of his concern.

In her complaint the wife said that since she was illiterate, the complaint was read out to her by her brother and another person. Gradually, all her relatives and the locality in which she lived got to know about the allegations and they started distancing themselves from her. Some other people started teasing her as well.
While her defamation case was pending before the Magistrate’s court, the husband’s petition seeking divorce on grounds of adultery was dismissed, with the court specifically observing that he was unable to prove his allegations of adultery against the wife.
In the High Court, the husband argued that he had made the allegations in good faith. But AdvocateShrikantYadav, appearingforthewife,
pointed out to the HC that the lower courts had specifically recorded findings
that the husband could not even prove that he had conducted a proper enquiry
before making his allegations.

Tenants can't force landlord to move kin out of property: HC
Tenants can't force landlord to move kin out of property: HC
Shibu Thomas, TNN | Jun 21, 2013, 04.35 AM IST"A tenant or the court can't dictate a landlord on what is bona fide and reasonable need... landlord is the best judge of his requirements," said the judge.
The high court set aside as "perverse" a lower court's order that directed the landlady's son and his family to move to Badlapur where her daughter-in-law has a house. This, despite the tenant owning a home in Dombivli.
"The (lower) court wants the landlady's family to be separated, some members to live in Thane and others in Badlapur, when they have a house of their own in Thane," said the judge. "It is difficult to understand how the landlady's family can be directed to be separated and the tenant allowed to live on the rented premises, when, by her own admission, she owns a building in Dombivli."
The flat is on the ground floor of Thane's Shrikripa Building, which the landlady, Sudha Barve, rented out to Ramesh Padhye in 1974. Once he died, Padhye's wife Ranjana and her two children continued living there. In the mid '90s, Barve moved court, seeking their eviction; she had complained that rents were not paid, a creche was run illegally from the flat and alterations were made to the flat without permission. Barve also said she stayed in a 300-sq-ft flat and needed the rented place to house her family comprising her divorced daughter, son, his wife and their two children. While the trial court in 2002 held in Sudha's favour, the appellate court reverse the verdict. It asked Sudha's son to move out with his family to Badlapur.
During the pendency of the case, Barve died. The HC even said after her death, "it cannot be said the space would be enough for the family..." consisting of her daughter, son, daughter in law and their two children. It is to be noted that the family is a growing family and as such the requirement cannot be said to be fanciful.'' and struck down the appellate court order.

HC fines four complainants Rs 55,000 for wasting cops’ time by filing cases only to arm twist their rivals in disputes
Abhijit Sathe and Bapu Deedwania mirrorfeedback@indiatimes.com
Police complaint as a tool to put pressure on your rival in a dispute is no longer as safe an arm twisting method as it used to be.
Taking note of how people file police complaints only to gain an upper hand in a conflict and then rush to courts to have FIRs quashed once the purpose is solved, wasting all the hardwork cops put into investigations, the Bombay High Court has fined four persons in two such cases a total of Rs 55,000.
The order delivered by Justice B R Gavai will not only deter people from filing police complaints they do not wish to pursue to their logical conclusions, but also bring much needed relief to an over-burdened police force.
The Rs 55,000 fine collected in these two cases, Justice Gavai ordered, would go the Mumbai Police Welfare Fund.
One of the two cases involved a dispute between the owner of an apartment and a builder, while the other involved a complaint filed by an employee of a businessman against his boss.
The first case was, in fact, a typical Mumbai real estate dispute and also quite symbolic of the situations where cops get used as a threat by one of the parties.
The fight was over a two-bedroom apartment booked by Sushila Patni in Thane's Manpada area in May 2010. The builder, J M Mehta, had lodged a complaint at the Kapurbaodi police station against Patni and one of his own employees, Mukesh Savla, accusing them of changing the price of the apartment in the original agreement.
Patni and Savla later filed a counter-complaint saying that Mehta had issued threats to them and was trying to extort money. Both parties, however, later reached a settlement and approached the High Court seeking directions to quash the FIR.
In the second case, Thane-based oil trader Suresh Thakkar was accused of cheating by his employee Ramesh Kharat. Kharat had alleged that his name was used by Thakkar to open several bank accounts and transactions were carried out without his knowledge.
Kharat filed a complaint at the Vartak Nagar police station. Accordingly, an FIR was lodged and the police began its investigations, calling for documents and recording statements of concerned people.
Kharat, however, later arrived at a settlement with his boss and moved High Court seeking quashing of the FIR.
Delivering identical orders in both cases, Justice Gavai said: "There is no element of public law involved in the crime (in both cases). I find that no purpose would be served by keeping the criminal proceedings pending except burdening the Criminal Courts which are already overburdened. I find that in the interests of justice, the criminal proceedings are required to be quashed. However, at the same time, the costs need to be saddled on the parties for setting in motion the police machinery for settling their dispute."
While he directed Mukesh Savla, Sushila Patni and Jitendra Mehta to pay Rs 10,000 each to the police department, Suresh Thakkar was asked to pay Rs 25,000.
Advocate Ashok Saraogi, who appeared for Patni and Savla in the first case and Thakkar in the second, said the judge directed the public prosecutor to ensure that the parties involved paid the fine.
DCP (operations) Sheela Sail on Saturday confirmed that she had received all three cheques and that the amount would soon be credited to the Police Welfare Fund.
Dear Tenants Tresspassers
Dear Tenants / Tresspassers:
In ur heart u will agree that Mumbai rent act is one sided and grossly favouring tenants.
However there r some grounds on which lanlord the shelter provider can file case in rent act courts/ small causes court.
There r some ground on which landlord can go to city civil and or even criminal court.
But if both the parties live with understanding and fellowship then such situation can be avoided.I request u to not to do anything to harm the harmony and compelling us to go to court. Pl. note that going to court means money flows out like water. U have to chase ur advocate, court clerk, xerex wala,stamp wala,typing wala etc.Gather evidences,documents, witnesses.Worst is dates after dates in court will have to spend.Easily one case till end can cost anywhere from Rs.50000/- to 2 lacs.And that is not the end rather it is begining.Then may have to approach higher courts.
So for any wise person court is the last choice.
Hope u will avoid a situation which warrnts legal action.I for one want to avoid courts. Rather I am one who would like panchas to decide small issues as by going to court matters worsen as some advocates add spice to the simple case and make it acidic / ulceritic.
So I repeat do not give any opportunity which calls for filing of cases against each other. Same is very taxing on time and money and B.P..By the way u all know what r the issues and avoid them.
Let us resolve issues by peacefully settling same.Once in court then there is no reversal.Then I would like to not sit down but fight to finish.
If there r any comments or suggestions then pl. write back to me.
Thanking you,

However there r some grounds on which lanlord the shelter provider can file case in rent act courts/ small causes court.
There r some ground on which landlord can go to city civil and or even criminal court.
But if both the parties live with understanding and fellowship then such situation can be avoided.I request u to not to do anything to harm the harmony and compelling us to go to court. Pl. note that going to court means money flows out like water. U have to chase ur advocate, court clerk, xerex wala,stamp wala,typing wala etc.Gather evidences,documents, witnesses.Worst is dates after dates in court will have to spend.Easily one case till end can cost anywhere from Rs.50000/- to 2 lacs.And that is not the end rather it is begining.Then may have to approach higher courts.
So for any wise person court is the last choice.
Hope u will avoid a situation which warrnts legal action.I for one want to avoid courts. Rather I am one who would like panchas to decide small issues as by going to court matters worsen as some advocates add spice to the simple case and make it acidic / ulceritic.
So I repeat do not give any opportunity which calls for filing of cases against each other. Same is very taxing on time and money and B.P..By the way u all know what r the issues and avoid them.
Let us resolve issues by peacefully settling same.Once in court then there is no reversal.Then I would like to not sit down but fight to finish.
If there r any comments or suggestions then pl. write back to me.
Thanking you,
