M/S Chordia Automobiles vs S. Moosa & Ors

The Supreme Court examined the eviction of the appellant under Section 10(2)(i) of the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960, due to alleged default in rent payment. The Court found that the appellant had deposited the required rent as directed by the Rent Controller and continued to pay at the previously agreed rate, thus negating the claim of wilful default. The Court held that the eviction order was unjustified and set aside the lower court's decisions, allowing the appeal.
