Doraipandi Konar vs P. Sundara Pathar on 8 April, 1969

9. Counsel for the appellant in this context, relied on a judgment of a learned single Judge of this court in the case of Doraipandi v. P. Sundara Pathar, 1970 (1) MLJ. 62 : 82 L.W. 670. In that case, it was held that Section 22 is a complete code in so far as the right of the tenant to carry out repair is concerned where the tenancy is governed by the provisions of the Madras Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act (18 of 1960). It was also observed in the Judgment that the tenant would have no right to recover the amount spent on the repairs in excess of an amount equal to one month's rent in view of the stipulation in the proviso to S. 22(b). Counsel sought to use that observation to contend that so long as the tenant does not demand reimbursement of the expenses incurred by him on the activity whether described as repair or otherwise, the tenant cannot be prevented from carrying out such repair, improvement or restoration.
