ACHAL MISRA vs RAMA SHANKER SINGH

The Supreme Court clarified its earlier order regarding the payment of arrears of rent by the respondents in Civil Appeal No. 3322 of 1998. It noted that Respondent no. 1 had paid the full amount of Rs. 3,50,000 as directed, while Respondent no. 2 sought a deduction for a previously paid sum of Rs. 1,45,860 from the ordered Rs. 3,00,000. The Court held that the earlier order was made with full awareness of the payment history and thus confirmed the requirement for Respondent no. 2 to deposit the remaining balance of Rs. 1,54,140, emphasizing the long-standing non-payment of rent over 26 years.
