Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of Section 13(1) and Section 20 of The Tripura Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1975, determining that an appeal under Section 20 is not maintainable unless the tenant has deposited all admitted arrears of rent as required by Section 13(1). The Court upheld the Division Bench's ruling that compliance with Section 13(1) is a sine qua non for filing an appeal, thereby affirming the High Court's decision and dismissing the appeal of the tenants.
