Case Summary: S.Lalitha v. G.Kumar (RLTA No.7/2023) The Principal District Judge dismissed the appeal filed by landlady S.Lalitha against the tenant G.Kumar. The court upheld the trial court's dismissal of the eviction petition, finding that Lalitha suppressed material facts—specifically that the premises belonged to the Ekambareswarar Temple, not to her. Although the respondent initially defaulted on rent from March 2020 onwards, the court found his February 2020 vacation was justified due to temple authorities' directive against alcohol business operations on temple property. The court rejected Lalitha's claim for double rent compensation, holding that her conduct in illegally subletting temple premises could not be justified in law, and found the balance of convenience favored the tenant. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
