Rasiya vs S.Sujith on 19 November, 2021

7. The learned counsel for the petitioner-tenant would contend that the order of the Appellate Authority dated 08.04.2021 is one in I.A.No.1 of 2020 in R.C.A.No.3 of 2020 filed by the tenant seeking stay of the execution of the order of eviction passed by the Rent Control Court, i.e. stay of the execution proceedings in E.P.No.5 of 2020 in R.C.P.No.52 of 2016 on the file of the Additional Munsiff Court, Palakkad. In the absence of an application filed by the landlord, invoking the provisions under Section 12 of the Act, the Appellate Authority went wrong in imposing such conditions in the impugned orders. Going by the statutory mandate of Section 12 of the Act, the Rent Control Court or the Appellate Authority, as the case may be, in a petition for eviction filed under Section 11 of the Act or in an appeal arising out of an order of eviction passed by the Rent Control Court on such a petition under Section 11 of the Act, can direct the tenant to pay admitted arrears of rent as on the date of that order and also continue to pay rent for the subsequent months, within a time limit that has to be specified under Section 12(2) of the Act. In case of any default on the part of the tenant in 6 R.C.Rev.No.138 of 2021 depositing or making payment of the admitted arrears of rent, the Rent Control Court or the Appellate Authority, as the case may be, in the absence of sufficient cause shown by the tenant for not complying with the order passed under Section 12(1) of the Act, proceed with under Section 12(3) of the Act. The procedure adopted by the Appellate Authority is not in conformity with the provisions under Section 12 of the Act. The learned counsel for the petitioner mainly relied on the decision of the Apex Court in Chinnamma v. Gopalan [(1995) 6 SCC 491 : 1995 (2) KLT 755] and the decision of this Court in Jose P.O. v. Xavier and another [2017 (3) KHC 844], etc.

Koyakkanari Sivadasan vs K.K.Nirmala on 5 April, 2022

25. The observations of this Court in Sadique [2017 (3) KLT 759] is that the Court cannot substitute its finding after an enquiry and adjudication on the arrears of rent, in the place of admitted arrears of rent for, an adjudication would fall under the purview of Section 11(2)(b) of the Act only. It was thus held that it was totally impermissible for the Rent Control Court or the Appellate Authority, as the case may be, to have an adjudication after conducting an enquiry regarding the arrears of rent contemplated under Section 12 of the Act. After an anxious consideration we hold that the principles in Sadique [2017 (3) KLT 759] or Jose P.O. [2017 3 KLT 222] are not in conflict with the law laid down by the Apex Court in Manik Lal Majumdar [(2005) 5 SCC 400]. The decisions in Sadique and Jose P.O. are thus explained.
