SAID ALAVI Appellant
V/S
KANNAN Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE tenant and the landlord are the revision petitioners and the respondents respectively in both the revision petitions.

(2.) THE landlord has filed an eviction petition in H.R.C.O.P.No.5 of 1995 on the ground of wilful default and additional accommodation under Secs.10(2)(1) and 10(3)(c) of the Pondicherry Buildings Lease and Rent Control Act before the Rent Controller-cum-Principal District Munsif, Pondicherry.

(3.) POINT No.1: With regard to the wilful default, the Rent Controller came to a definite conclusion that the tenant has not committed wilful default for the reason that even though the tenant was ready to pay the arrears of rent to the landlord, the landlord refused to receive the rent tendered by the tenant in person and hence the tenant sent the rent to the landlord through money order.
