K. RAGHUNATH vs CHANDRASEKHAR

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 a tenant 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.
