In that suit, the rent was determined and the defendant tenant paid the rent to the landlord, therefore, issue no.1 regarding default was though decided in favour of the plaintiff landlord still the suit for eviction on the ground of default was dismissed. However, the suit for partial eviction was decreed. While doing so, the rent was reduced from Rs.35/- to Rs.25/-.
