SHANTI PRASHAD JAIN (D) THR.LRS. vs PRAKASH NARAIN MATHUR

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision under Article 227 of the Constitution, affirming the application filed by the landlord under Section 15(7) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958. The Court ruled that the tenant's failure to deposit rent as mandated by the Rent Controller led to the striking out of the tenant's defense. The judgment clarified that the tenant's delay in rent payment was not condoned, thereby reinforcing the landlord's right to eviction due to non-compliance with rent deposit orders.
