Duty to pay rent

Non payment of rent is a strong ground to vacate.cosult local lawyer.

How there could be  civil suit when the Rent Control Act applies?

Tenant had challenged the jurisdiction of rent control act claiming recovery of possession and mesne profits. Meantime tenant had again stopped paying rent. Court came to the finding that rent control applies to the suit premises. now again landlord has to seek eviction under delhi rent control act. Now will the non payment of rent be takena s a ground for eviction.

The facts posted are inconsistent.

How was the case admitted by the Rent Control Court under section 14(1) of Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958 and granted benefit under section 14(2) of the Act to the tenant, when the Rent Control was not applicable as stated by you ???

The case is stated to have been remanded back for adjudication by same (Rent Control) court, where is the question of non-payment of rent ???

Inconsistance, fabricated and hypothetical facts for this academic exercise. 

It is advisable to contact and consult your professor /guide/ coach /tutor.

2003-13 suit under rent control for rent default. 2013-20 landlord challenged rent control jurisdiction over suit property, dismissed. Held that rent control applies. Rent not paid for 2013-20. Before the tenant pays, landlord wants to file rent arrears as a ground for eviction as one benefit has already taken.

Tenable?

Least convincing.
