BHOJA @ BHOJA RAM GUPTA vs RAMESHWAR AGARWALA .

The Supreme Court ruled that under the Bihar Building (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control Act, Section 4, a tenant cannot automatically adjust excess rent paid against subsequent defaults in rent payment. The Court upheld the findings of the lower courts that the tenant was in default and liable for eviction, confirming that the lawful rent was Rs. 55 per month, not the Rs. 70 claimed by the landlord. The appeal by the tenant was dismissed, affirming the eviction order.
