STATE OF HARYANA vs DHARAM SINGH

The Supreme Court upheld the eviction order against the tenant, clarifying that under Section 7C of the Act, a tenant must prove that the landlord refused to accept rent lawfully tendered. The Court emphasized that the mere granting of permission to deposit arrears does not absolve the tenant from this burden of proof. The findings of the First Appellate Court were deemed speculative and not based on solid evidence, justifying the High Court's reversal of those findings in the second appeal.
