HIGH COURT OF MADRAS
Honourable Mr Justice V. LAKSHMINARAYANAN
P. BASKARAN – Appellant
Versus
N. MURUGAN – Respondent
ORDER
The civil revision petition arises against the order passed by the learned District Munsif at Sriperumbudur in R.L.T.O.P. SR No.2657 of 2024 dated 23.10.2024.
2. The civil revision petitioner is the landlord. He entered into a tenancy agreement with the respondent on 24.01.2024. On account of the fact that there has been a default, he moved an application under Sections 21 (2)(a), 21(2)(b) and 23 of The Tamil Nadu Regulation of Rights and Responsibilities of Landlords and Tenants Act, 2017 (hereinafter referred to as TNRRRLT Act). The petition was presented on 20.09.2024.
3. The learned District Munsif following the judgment in S.Muruganandam Vs. J.Joseph (2022 (2) CTC 291) returned the petition stating that it is not maintainable. The Court came to the said conclusion because the agreement entered into between the landlord and the tenant was on 24.01.2024 which is after the TNRRRLT Act came into force on 22.02.2019. The Trial Court held as per Muruganandam case, as the tenancy had been entered after the commencement of the TNRRRLT Act, the remedy is only before the regular Civil Court. Hence, this revision.
4. Mr.Dhanasekaran pleads this order is erroneous and has to be revised.
