Thus, the suit of the Plaintiffs filed within 12 years of the determination of the tenancy by efflux of time is within the period of limitation. The Defendant has not proved forfeiture of tenancy prior to the expiry of lease period. Mere non-payment of rent does not amount to forfeiture of tenancy. It only confers a right on the landlord to seek possession. The Plaintiffs have filed a suit for possession against the Defendant on the basis of determination of tenancy, such suit is governed by Article 67 alone.
