R C TAMRAKAR vs NIDHI LEKHA

The Supreme Court upheld the application of Section 12(1)(a) and Section 13(1) of the M.P. Accommodation Control Act, 1961, affirming that a tenant must pay or tender the entire arrears of rent within two months of receiving a notice of demand to avoid eviction. The Court found that the tenant had failed to pay the arrears after receiving the notice, thus justifying the landlady's claim for eviction. The High Court's decision to restore the Trial Court's decree for eviction was upheld, confirming the relationship of landlord and tenant and the tenant's default in rent payment.
