Rent Controller's Power To Strike Out Defence Of Tenant On Failure To Pay Rent Is Discretionary
02 Oct 2019 07:43 pm
The Supreme Court has held that the power to strike out the defence vested in the Rent Controller under Section 15(7) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958 is discretionary and not mandatory.
Mere failure to pay rent on the part of the tenant is not enough to justify an order striking out the defence and it is only a wilful failure or deliberate default or volitional of non-performance that can call for the exercise of the extraordinary power vested in the Court, the bench comprising Justice Arun Mishra, Justice MR Shah and Justice Ajay Rastogi held.
The bench in Dina Nath (D ) vs. Subhash Chand Saini further held that the discretion to be exercised depends on contumacious or deliberate default and must be construed harmoniously so as to balance the rights and obligations of the tenant and the landlord and the power under Section 15(7) of Act, 1958 being an exception to be exercised with due care and circumspection.
