V/S
A.ARUMUGHAM Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) TENANT in R. C. O. P. No. 17 of 1990, on the file of Rent controller, Tiruppur, is the revision petitioner.

(2.) EVICTION was sought by respondent herein on the ground that the revision petitioner has committed wilful default in payment of rent for a period of eight months at the rate of Rs. 700 per mensem. There was a further averment that the tenant has sub-let the building without the written consent of the landlord and that he has also committed acts of waste which has reduced the value and utility of the building permanently.

(3.) I will first take into consideration the contention put forward by learned counsel for the tenant, whether the landlord has substantiated his case that the tenant is liable to be evicted on the ground of acts of waste.
