    Summary: The Bombay High Court dismissed the petitioner's writ petition challenging his eviction from licensed premises under the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999. The court held that the petitioner's unregistered Agreement for Sale (1997) has no effect under Section 53A of the Transfer of Property Act, and therefore he cannot claim possession based on it; his occupancy is governed solely by the expired Leave and Licence Agreement (last renewed January 17, 2015, expiring January 14, 2016), making him liable for eviction and damages of Rs. 16,000/month from January 15, 2016. The court rejected the petitioner's jurisdictional challenge, ruling that the Competent Authority retained jurisdiction under Section 24 of the MRC Act despite alleged commercial misuse of the premises. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
