K. Raghunath vs Chandrasekhar & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's Revision Petition under Section 50(1) of the Karnataka Rent Control Act, 1961, due to non-compliance with Section 29, which mandates that tenants must pay or deposit all arrears of rent before contesting eviction proceedings. The Court emphasized that the appellant's failure to deposit rent prior to filing the Revision Petition was a valid ground for dismissal. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the eviction order against the tenant.
