Karthyayani vs S.N.D.P. Sakha Yogam on 16 September, 2004
11. Therefore, the decisions in Lakshmi v. Kuppuswamy Chettiar, 1983 KLT 703, Jeboy v. Subramonian, 1990 (2) KLT 167, Manoharan v. Narayana Menon 2003 (1) KLT 538 and the unreported decision in C.R.P. No. 2334 of 1994 holding that Rent Control Court has no power under Section 11(2)(c) to extend the period more than once are not correctly decided and stand overruled. We also hold that it is unnecessary to examine the question as to whether Section 23(1)(i) would apply since we have already found that Section 11(2)(c) itself confers ample power on the Rent Control Court to grant time more than once. In our view, Section 23(1)(i) also would lend support to the our reasoning. Section 23(1) stipulates that the Rent Control Court and the Appellate Authority shall have powers which are vested in a Court under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 which includes enlargement of time originally fixed or granted.
