This question addresses the specific rights and limitations of an occupancy tenant concerning subletting under tenancy laws. A tenant with a right of occupancy is legally permitted to sublet their land for a term not exceeding five years. This provision balances the tenant's ability to manage their land with preventing long-term alienation.
- Option C (Five years) is correct as it aligns with the specific legal provision found in the relevant tenancy acts, such as the Punjab Tenancy Act.
- Options A (Two years), B (Three years), and D (Seven years) are incorrect because they do not match the statutory limit prescribed for subletting by an occupancy tenant. The law explicitly sets the maximum term at five years.
Is this answer helpful and correct?
