LAW FOR ALL

Sec,15 (7) of Delhi Rent Control Act - Power to strike out the defence - Apex court held that The appellants-tenants, despite their contumacious disobedience, of the directions contained in the order of the Rent Controller dated 14.9.2009, have frustrated the process of law successfully, for about five years (from 28.4.2009, i.e., the date on which the application under Section 15(7) of the Rent Act was filed, till the disposal of the present Civil Appeal). The tenants have achieved, what the legislation aimed to avoid. In the above view of the matter, I am of the considered view, that the order passed by the Rent Controller dated 14.9.2009, which was upheld by the Rent Control Tribunal (on 24.5.2010) and the High Court (vide order dated 10.5.2011) calls for no interference whatsoever. = Dina Nath (D) by Lrs. & Anr. …Appellants Versus Subhash Chand Saini & Ors. …Respondents = 2014 ( April.
