NOTES

The transactions entered into by the petitioners and the LSGIs are those, under which, the petitioners have got their respective rights to occupy an immovable property, say, a room, rooms or building of LSGI for his/her commercial or other purpose. Such occupation, even if it does not amount to possession by a lessee in terms of the Transfer of Property Act, is an occupation sufficient enough to bring the transaction within the purview of the term 'lease' under Section 2(1) of the Stamp Act, by virtue of the extensive limb of the definition clause. – Cheriya Chamy and Others v.
