N. VELMURUGAN vs K.N. GOVINDARAJAN

The Supreme Court held that the eviction order passed by the Trial Court was unsustainable as it failed to consider the High Court's extension of time for deposit, which negated any claim of willful default under the relevant tenancy laws. The Court emphasized that the High Court should have addressed this critical aspect in the Review Petition instead of dismissing it. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the eviction order, reinforcing the principle that a tenant cannot be evicted without proper consideration of the circumstances surrounding the tenancy agreement and any extensions granted.
