Correct Answer:
B. Yes, multiple tenants can hold land jointly
The Punjab Tenancy Act 1887 recognizes various forms of landholding, including joint ownership. Option B is correct because the Act explicitly allows for co-tenancy, meaning multiple individuals can hold land jointly as tenants. They share the rights and responsibilities associated with the tenancy, which is a common practice in agricultural land management.
- Option A is false as co-tenancy is a recognized concept under the Act.
- Option C is false because the Act does not restrict co-tenancy solely to family members like brothers; it applies more broadly.
- Option D is false as co-tenancy pertains to tenants holding land, not specifically to landlords.
