Compensation to outgoing tenant on resumption recoverable from:

A. Provincial Govt
B. BoR
C. Incoming tenant
D. Village fund
Correct Answer: C. Incoming tenant

In tenancy laws, particularly those related to land or property, when a landlord resumes possession, the outgoing tenant may be entitled to compensation for improvements or other rights. The correct option is Incoming tenant. In some land tenure systems, especially for agricultural land, the burden of compensating an outgoing tenant for improvements or unexhausted benefits is placed upon the incoming tenant. This mechanism ensures continuity and fairness in land use transitions and incentivizes proper land management.

  • Provincial Govt: Governments typically do not directly compensate outgoing tenants unless they are the landlords or it's a specific welfare scheme.
  • BoR (Board of Revenue): This is an administrative body, not usually the direct payer of compensation.
  • Village fund: While a village fund might exist, it's not typically the legal source for individual tenant compensation on resumption.
