RAM SEWAK vs MUNNA LAL

The Supreme Court upheld the eviction of the tenant under Section 3(1)(a) of the U.P. (Temporary) Control of Rent and Eviction Act, 1947, ruling that a mere deposit of rent under Section 7C does not suffice to avoid eviction if the statutory conditions for a valid deposit are not met. The Court emphasized that the tenant must demonstrate circumstances justifying the deposit, which was not established in this case. The concurrent findings of the trial court and appellate court regarding the lack of valid tender of rent were affirmed, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
