Section 9 of Rajasthan Rent Control Act - Limitation of Suit by Plaintiff
The section primarily deals with the time frame within which a landlord can file a suit for eviction. Strict adherence to the limitation period is emphasized, and delays in depositing rent or filing suits are generally not condonable under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, especially in the absence of specific provisions allowing such condonation. The law mandates strict compliance with procedural timelines, and non-compliance can lead to dismissal of eviction suits.

Mandatory Nature of Sections 13(3) to 13(6) and Limitation
Sections 13(3) to 13(6) of the Act specify the mandatory procedural requirements for eviction suits, including deposit of rent and notices. Strict compliance with these provisions is necessary, and the Limitation Act's Section 5 generally does not extend or condone delays unless explicitly provided. Delays in rent deposit or filing are often viewed as violations of mandatory provisions, leading to dismissal or non-condonation of default.

Deposit of Rent and Condonation of Delay
Deposit of rent under Section 13(4) is a crucial procedural step; failure to deposit timely is often considered a breach of mandatory requirements. Courts have held that the Act does not permit condonation of delays in rent deposit unless specific provisions or circumstances justify it. The act of withdrawal or non-user of rent deposit funds does not automatically imply waiver or condonation.

Legal Procedures and Court Powers
Courts have inherent powers under Civil Procedure Code and the Act to review judgments, condone delays, or set aside orders, but such powers are exercised cautiously and typically require strong grounds like bona fide mistakes or misadvice. Order 47 Rule 1 and Section 151 of CPC are relevant in reviewing or setting aside orders related to rent deposit or eviction proceedings.

Conclusion
Under Rajasthan Rent Control Act, Section 9 and related provisions impose strict time limits for filing eviction suits. Non-compliance with procedural requirements, especially regarding rent deposit and notices, is generally not condonable under Section 5 of the Limitation Act unless explicitly permitted. Courts emphasize the mandatory nature of these provisions, and delays are often fatal to eviction claims unless exceptional circumstances are established.
