The tenant's conduct amounted to misuse, and failure to pay provisional rent led to the orders of eviction being upheld.
Tenants denying landlord-tenant relationship cannot seek rent assessment; landlady's bona fide need for eviction upheld.
A tenant cannot amend their written statement to contradict a prior denial of landlord-tenant relationship, as this would alter the fundamental nature of the case.
The court upheld the provisional rent assessment and eviction order, emphasizing the tenant's obligation to comply with rent orders to avoid eviction.
The court upheld the provisional rent assessment but set aside the requirement for the tenant to deposit arrears, emphasizing the need for evidence in disputes over rent payments.
Court confirms that a tenant's good faith intent to pay addresses eviction liability if the Rent Controller fails to accurately assess due rent, emphasizing fair enforcement of the law.
