Firm Of Harbanslal Jagmohandas & Anr vs Prabhudas Shivlal on 16 April, 1971

...We think that the problem of interpretation and application of Section 12(3)(b) need not trouble us after the decision of this Court in Shah Dhansukhlal Chagganlal's case followed by the more recent decision in Harbanslal Jagmohandas v. Prabhudas Shivlal, which completely cover the case before us. It is clear to us that the Act interferes with the landlord's right to property and freedom of contract only for the limited purpose of protecting tenants from misuse of the landlord's power to evict them, in these days of scarcity of accommodation, by asserting his superior rights in property or trying to exploit his position by extracting too high rents from helpless tenants. The object was not to deprive the landlord altogether of his rights in property which have also to be respected Another object was to make possible eviction of tenants who fail to carry out their obligation to pay rent to the landlord despite opportunities given by law in that behalf But where the conditions of Section 12(3)(a) are not satisfed, there is a further opportunity given to the tenant to protect himself against eviction. He can comply with the conditions set out in Section 12(3)(b) and defeat the landlord's claim for eviction. If, however, he does not, fulfll those conditions, he cannot claim the protection of Section 12(3)(b) and in that event, there being no other protection available to him, a decree for eviction would have to go against him. It is diffcult to see how by any Judicial valour discretion exercisable in favour of the tenant can be found in Section 12(3)(b), even where the conditions laid down by it are satisfed, to be strictly confned within the aaa/-

Sitaram Maruti Nagpure vs Fakirchand Purushottam Dhase on 24 October, 2007

In a case of Sitaram Maruti Nagpure Vs. Fakirchand Dhase (supra) relied upon by the learned counsel for the applicant, the Division Bench of this Court in the facts and circumstances of the said case observed conduct of the landlord and further held that he is not entitled to seek ejectment on the ground of default when he himself refuses to accept the rent by money order. In the instant case, however, as observed by the Courts below, those money orders were not in respect of the period covered by the legal notice issued by respondents /plaintiffs. Furthermore, though, applicant/defendant has raised dispute about the standard rent, failed to fle any application under section 11 of the Act of 1947 before the Court. I do not think that the ratio laid down in the aforesaid case can be made applicable to the facts and circumstances of the present case.
