Shiv Dutt Jadiya vs Ganga Devi

The Supreme Court analyzed the provisions of the Rajasthan Premises (Control of Rent and Eviction) Act, 1950, particularly Sections 13 and 19-A, in the context of a tenant's appeal against eviction. The Court held that the tenant's compliance with Section 13(4) during the pendency of the first suit did not absolve him of the obligation to pay rent as per Section 19-A after the first suit's decision. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's decision to restore the Trial Court's decree for eviction based on the tenant's second default, affirming the interpretation of statutory compliance required for eviction proceedings under the Act.
