Ram Karanji More vs Keshardev Jalan on 7 June, 1996
In the case of Bnawani Sankar v. Jugal Kishore, AIR 1985 Gau 18, court held, on materials on record, that technically the rent would fall due on expiry of the last date of the month of tenancy. The question when the rent fall due would also depend upon other factors also. The landlord may agree, in consideration of some situation that tenant might pay sometime at his convenience. The exhibits show that in all such accumulated payment of rent it varied from 2 to 5 months. It is also seen that the petitioner deposited rent in Court on monthly basis. The admitted position on record that out of exhibitted rent receipts 90% related to the monthly payment of rent. Further as stated above the petitioner in his written statement contended that he was allowed to pay at his convenience, but not beyond five months at a time since he had no source of fixed income at that time (underline supplied) with a big family. It is also admitted that he on his own by and large paid the rent regularly, though it was never the essence of the agreement of lease.
