18. It is the contention of Mr.R. Bharath Kumar, learned counsel
for the petitioner that by restoring the Rent Control Petition, the learned
Appellate Authority had made a mistake since the issue that there was
willful default had already been adjudicated by the fact that there was a
direction to pay the arrears amount. This direction was not complied with
and an application was filed seeking extension of time. That application was
also dismissed. Appeals were filed and pending the appeals, the arrears
amount of rent had been tendered. The learned counsel therefore stated that
reliance placed on the Judgment in 2004 (5) CTC 314 [ G.V.H. Prasad alias
Jothi Prasad Vs. K.R. Rajaram] would not be appropriate.
