If A is the sub lessee then he can also sub let the leased premises to third party if the lease agreement permits this arrangement
Dr. J C Vashista (Advocate ) 19 August 2024
Lease period of Z is 99 years wherein during last 75 years no LR of Z has claimed lease and lessor (Government) has not revoked the lease, accordingly Z is lessee and A is sub-lessee.
Payment of electricity bill and property tax by A do not confer title or change status of sub-lessee of A except confirmation of his possession of A during the period.
The property shall remain leased to Z, which cannot be transferred to A during lease period of remaining 24 years, if it is not revoked.
