Mohd. Saied vs Iqbal Singh Ors on 20 January, 2026
(i) In the petition, an amount of Rs. 73.20/- per month has
been claimed from 01.04.2000 to 31.03.2002, and an amount
of Rs. 80.52/- per month has been claimed from 01.04.2002
up to 31.08.2003 (see the eviction petition and the legal
demand notice Ex. PW1/7). The legal notice claiming arrears
of rent was sent on 29.09.2003. The petitioner can claim
arrears of rent for a period of 03 years immediately preceding
the date of service of the landlord's legal demand notice (see
Dr. O.M. Parmar v. Harsh Vardhan Nayyar,
2022/DHC/005238, dated 24.11.2022). In this case, the arrears
are claimed from 01.04.2000. However, the arrears can only
be claimed from 29.09.2000, i.e., three years before the date
of service of the legal demand notice.
