C. CHANDRAMOHAN vs SENGOTTAIYAN (DEAD) BY LRS. — C.A. No. 6293 - 6295/1998

Case Summary: C. Chandramohan v. Sengottaiyan The Supreme Court dismissed the landlord's appeals seeking eviction of three shop tenants on grounds of willful rent default and title denial. The Court held that the tenants had not committed willful default since they paid the correct rent amount (Rs.75-250/month, not the inflated Rs.400-850 claimed) and the landlord had accepted their deposited rent. On the title denial ground, the Court ruled that since the tenants were unaware of the release deed transferring ownership to the landlord and continued paying rent without setting up adverse claims, they did not willfully deny the landlord's title. The High Court's decision setting aside eviction was upheld. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
