Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in India

There is some MHADA Act or other rule that in a tenanted property with rent receipt in an ancestral name, those residing in it in 1995 are regarded as the official tenants. I want to understand this rule precisely, and get to a read it as well. Pl help. Thanks.

The Maharashtra Housing & Area Development Board Act, 1976 defines "Occupier" to include :

a) any person who for the time being is paying or is liable to pay to the owner the rent or any portion of the rent of the land or building in respect of which such rent is paid or is payable;

b) an owner in occupation of, or otherwise using, his land or building;

c) a rent-free tenant of any land or building;

d) a "licensee" in occupation of any land or building and;

e) any person who is liable to pay to the owner damages for the use and occupation of any land or building.

Going by the above definition, there is no specific year as such which is attached to the definition as official tenants.

Regards,
