Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the application of Section 12(1)(a) and Section 13 of the M.P. Accommodation Control Act, 1961, affirming that a tenant must pay arrears of rent within two months of receiving a notice of demand to avoid eviction. The Court found that the tenant had not paid the arrears after receiving the notice, thus justifying the landlady's claim for eviction. The judgment of the High Court restoring the Trial Court's decree for eviction was upheld, confirming the relationship of landlord and tenant and the tenant's default in payment.
