Correct Answer:
B. Not applicable
This question probes the general applicability of historical legislation in contemporary legal frameworks, especially concerning land and tenancy laws.
- Correct Option B (Not applicable): The Punjab Tenancy Act, 1887, is generally considered not applicable to many modern or specific types of tenancies, particularly those governed by newer laws or specific government schemes. Its scope has been limited or superseded in various contexts.
- Distractors A (Fully applicable): This is incorrect, as the Act's applicability is often restricted.
- Distractor C (Only for Govt tenants & sub-tenants): While it might apply to some government-related tenancies, stating it's 'only for' them is too narrow and doesn't reflect its general non-applicability in broader contexts.
- Distractor D (Only if tenant agrees): The applicability of a legislative act is a matter of law and jurisdiction, not subject to individual tenant agreement.
