Rajasthan High Court: Heirs are Joint Tenants, Eviction Decree Binds All

• Rajasthan High Court ruled that legal heirs of a deceased tenant become joint tenants, not independent co-tenants.
• An eviction order against one joint tenant is binding on all heirs, even if not individually impleaded.
• The 77-year-old dispute originated from a 1949 lease for 5 rupees; landlords sought eviction citing damage, subletting, nuisance, and arrears.
• Rent Tribunal issued an eviction order in 2016, which was challenged by heirs claiming separate rights and an oral sale.
• High Court rejected claims of separate tenancy and oral sale, citing the 2001 Act and Supreme Court precedents on indivisible joint tenancy.
