casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: E. Palanisamy v. Palanisamy (D) by LRs (2001) Decision: The Supreme Court dismissed the tenant's appeal and upheld the eviction order, holding that strict compliance with Section 8 of the Tamil Nadu Building (Lease & Rent Control) Act, 1960 is mandatory and cannot be bypassed. Key Reasoning: The tenant failed to follow the prescribed statutory procedure before depositing rent in court. Section 8 requires tenants to: (1) issue notice requiring landlords to specify a bank, (2) deposit in the specified bank if provided, or (3) send rent via money order if no bank is specified, before finally depositing in court. The tenant directly jumped to court deposit without following these prerequisite steps, constituting willful default. The Court rejected arguments for "substantial compliance," emphasizing that rent legislation benefits require strict adherence to statutory procedures, and equitable considerations have no place in such matters.
