Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a rent deposit made under Section 6A of the Haryana Urban (Control of Rent and Eviction) Act, 1973. The Court held that the tenant's deposit of arrears was valid as the landlord had refused to accept rent and issue receipts, thus justifying the tenant's action under Section 6A. The Court upheld the appellate authority's decision, reversing the Rent Controller's order of ejectment against the tenant.
