sir, to get descritionery relief u/s 20 ( 4) it is necessory to deposit entire amount of rent and damages for use and occupation plus 9 % p.a. interest plus landlords costs of suit on the first date of hearing. first date of hearing means the first date for any step or proceeding mentioned in the summons served on the defendent. to avoid any complication it is advisable to deposit little etc. money on the first date with your vaklatnama.
