1. Tenant in R.C.O.P No. 13 of 1987, on the file of Controller-Cum-District Munsif, Arkonam is the revision petitioner.

2. Eviction petition was filed by the first respondent herein on the ground that the petitioner herein has committed wilful default in paying the rent. He has also staled that the building is required for the owners occupation. Further grounds of eviction are, unauthorised sub-letting and acts of waste alleged to have been committed by the tenant materially affecting the utility of the building.

It is said that the tenancy was with the petitioner herein, who was conducting a provision store. At present, he is not making use of the demised build
