NATHULAL Vs. VISHNU CHAND

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE only point for decision in this appeal by the defendant-tenant is whether the words "for the period for which the tenant may have made default" occurring in Sec. 13 (4) of the Rajasthan premises (Control of Rent and Eviction) Act, 1950 refer to the period for which the arrears of rent are within limitation or they refer to the full arrears of rent be they within limitation or barred by limitation?

(2.) THE contention of the learned consel for the appeallant is that these words should be taken to refer only to such arrears of rent as are within limitation, and can be legally recovered through the process of the court. In support of his contention learned counsel has relied upon D. S. R. Sarma vs. Nagendra Bala Debi (F. B.) (1), and Krishna Chandra Bose vs. Radharani (2 ).
