K.A. Grace & Anr vs M.S. Lakshmipathi Naidu & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court of Karnataka's decision regarding the eviction of tenants under the Karnataka Rent Control Act, 1961, specifically citing Section 21 and Section 29(1). The Court established that a tenant must pay all arrears of rent to contest an eviction application, and failure to do so renders the revision petition liable for rejection. The appeal was ultimately remitted to the High Court for merit-based disposal, emphasizing the necessity of compliance with statutory provisions for eviction proceedings.
