Case Summary: Sankaran Pillai v. V.P. Venuguduswami The Supreme Court dismissed the tenant's appeal, holding that his failure to deposit rent arrears within the prescribed time did not constitute "sufficient cause" under Section 11(4) of the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960. The Court found the tenant's belated claim of mistaken belief was an afterthought lacking bona fides, as he had consistently denied the landlord-tenant relationship and never previously cited inability to deposit as a ground for condonation. The eviction order against the tenant was upheld. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
