What does the landlord insist? He will have to prove the amount he wants the court to believe.

burden of proof is on landlord to show that he is collecting 1600 per month . the court after taking into account rent receipt , income tax retruns may or may not believe the landlord story .

whether tenant has admitted to payment of rs 1600 per month or is it his story that rent receipt is bogus . if tenant admits to payment of rs 1600 per month then there is no dispute
