NASIRUDDIN vs SITA RAM AGARWAL

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963 concerning the deposit of rent under the Rajasthan Premises (Control of Rent & Eviction) Act, 1950. The Court held that the interpretation of the term 'shall' in the Act necessitates a larger bench's consideration due to conflicting views in previous judgments. The case was referred to a three-judge bench for a definitive ruling on the matter, particularly regarding the power of the court to extend time limits for rent deposit under Section 13(4) of the Act.
