Subash Mohan Lal vs Pawan Kumar And Ors.

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, setting aside the order of the Additional Rent Controller, Delhi, which had refused leave to defend due to non-payment of costs. The Court emphasized the importance of justice and granted the appellant an opportunity to pursue the matter, contingent upon the payment of Rs. 6,000/- in costs within four weeks. The Court directed the Additional Rent Controller to ensure that the appellant does not engage in delaying tactics during the proceedings.
