Gopi Chand Gupta (Dead) By Lrs vs M/S. Jain Plastic Industry

The Supreme Court held that under Section 14(1)(a) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, the tenant's act of posting a cheque for rent constitutes a valid tender, even if the cheque was not delivered due to the landlord's absence. The Court emphasized that once the cheque was posted, the responsibility for delivery lay with the postal authorities, and the tenant fulfilled his obligation to tender rent. The Court overturned the High Court's decision, reinstating the eviction order against the tenant for non-payment of rent.
