No Protection To Tenant If He Ignores Order To Pay Dues Under Delhi Rent Control Act

A Tenant who fails to pay rent despite a court order cannot seek legal protection against eviction from the premises, the Delhi High Court has ruled.

Justice V. B. Gupta passed the order while dismissing a tenant's plea seeking setting aside of an eviction order passed against him by the court of rent controller.

The Delhi Rent Control Act grants protection to the defaulter tenant if the due amount is deposited.
However, the right is taken away if the tenant defaults for the second time, the court said.

" When the tenant makes a second default, no protection can be given against eviction," the court said in an order delivered Friday.
