RAJA MUTHUKONE (D) BY LRS. vs T.GOPALASAMI

The court examined whether a landlord can maintain an eviction petition based on rent arrears when the rent had been deposited by the tenant in prior legal proceedings. The key issue is whether the landlord's subsequent withdrawal of those deposited funds cures a premature filing of the eviction petition. The case centers on the statutory requirements of Section 10(2) of the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960.
