M/S. Aero Traders Pvt. Ltd vs Ravinder Kumar Suri

The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's decision to restore the Rent Controller's order striking off the tenant's defense under Section 15(7) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, due to non-compliance with the order to pay arrears of rent. The Court emphasized that the tenant failed to provide evidence of payment and did not comply with the requirement to deposit the rent, which amounted to Rs.1260. The Court affirmed that the tenant's defense was rightly struck off for not adhering to the statutory obligations under the Act.
