Ram Chandra vs Kanak Ram on 12 February, 1980
4. It was argued by the learned Counsel for the landlord that the whole approach of the Additional District Judge was erroneous and unsustainable in law. Admittedly, the tenants had not deposited the monthly rent by the 15th day of the succeeding month. Their defence against eviction was, therefore, liable to be struck out. He concession could be granted to the tenants. Reliance was placed on the decisions of this Court viz Ram Chandra v. Kanak Ram 1980 W.L.N. 125 and Suraj Narain v. Laxmi Devi 1981 W.L.N. 386. In reply, straneous efforts were made to support the impugned order of the lower appellate court. I have taken the respective contentions into consideration.
