Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that in a suit for permanent injunction, the question of title and landlord-tenant relationship is not in issue, thus the respondents cannot demand the appellant to deposit rent arrears. The Court set aside the High Court's order requiring the appellant to deposit Rs.5,000/- per month as rent, clarifying that this does not prevent the respondents from pursuing legal action to establish tenancy and recover dues if applicable. The appeal was allowed, and the application for rent deposit was dismissed.
