Each of the following landlords owns a house in the town. Which landlord falls outside the classes in section 23J of the Madhya Pradesh Accommodation Control Act, 1961, on the facts given?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 23J(v) covers a serving government employee posted to a place where they own a house if their service conditions deny them government accommodation there or allow it only at penal rent. An employee who can obtain that accommodation at ordinary rent falls outside this clause.
Retired government employees, divorced wives and persons with physical disabilities are separately included by section 23J(i), (iii) and (iv).
Option feedback
Option A
A retired government employee qualifies under section 23J(i).
Option B
Section 23J(v) covers a serving government employee posted where they own a house if they lack entitlement to government accommodation or can obtain it only at penal rent. Ordinary-rent entitlement fails that test.
Option C
Section 23J(iii) expressly includes a divorced wife.
Option D
Section 23J(iv) includes a person with a physical disability.
