Judgment text excerpt
The case concerns a suit for eviction of a tenant under Section 10(2)(i) of the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960. The central issue is whether a tenant can be evicted for arrears of rent when the disputed amounts were subsequently deposited during multiple legal proceedings. The Court examines the effect of such deposits on the landlord's right to seek eviction based on default in payment.
