Baldev Singh Bajwa vs Monish Saini on 5 October, 2005

In the case of B.S.Bajwa (supra), the Apex Court had observed that the Rent Controller's power to give leave to contest in a petition filed under Section 13-B is restricted by the condition that the affidavit filed by the tenant(s) seeking leave to contest, discloses such fact as would disentitle the landlord from obtaining an order for recovery of possession. In the summary proceedings, the tenant's right to contest the application would be restricted to the parameters of Section 13-B of the Rent Act. The tenant cannot widen the scope of his defence by relying on any other fact which does not fall within the parameters of Section 13-B.
