Jeena vs J J Kotturan alias Jojo Joseph — 8/2026

Case Summary: Jeena v. J J Kotturan @ Jojo Joseph and Thomas (RCA 8/2026) The Rent Control Appellate Authority dismissed tenant Jeena's appeal as not maintainable. The lower court had issued an interlocutory order under Section 12(1) of the Kerala Building (Lease and Rent) Control Act directing the tenant to deposit ₹5,84,600 in admitted rent arrears within four weeks and pay future rent at ₹15,800 within two weeks of accrual. The appellate court held that Section 18 does not permit appeals against such interlocutory orders—only against final orders under Section 12(3)—as these orders merely direct payment or show cause rather than determine rights finally.
