Judgment text excerpt
The court examined a dispute between landlords and the legal heirs of a tenant regarding the withdrawal of rent deposited in court. The tenant had deposited rent at a reduced rate of Rs. 80 per month, claiming a reduction from the original Rs. 100 rent due to withdrawn facilities. The central issue is whether landlords can withdraw deposited rent without formally accepting the tenant's contested rent amount.
