Panaji, July 16 - In a bid to end 'acrimony' between landlords and tenants 'once and for all', the Goa Law Commission has come out with various recommendations including setting up a housing fund to enable tenants and mundkar's (homestead tenants) to buy their houses outright from landlords, commission chairman Ramakant Khalap said.

Khalap told IANS Wednesday that if the recommendation is accepted by the government, it would end a long history of traditional acrimony and hatred between landlords and tenants, which has resulted in overloading the lower judiciary and lower revenue courts with thousands of litigations, which drag on for years.

'Let this acrimony end, both for tenants, mundkars and landlords, once and for all. Let everyone come out smiling,' Khalap, a former union minister of state for law, said.

Describing the traditional mundkar as the last vestiges of feudalism in the state, Khalap said that the sooner it was done away with, the better it would be for Goa's social fabric.
