This appeal arises out of first appellate Court&#8217;s judgment<\/p>\n<p>dtd.15.2.2005, whereby the learned appellate Court allowed the<\/p>\n<p>defendants&#8217; appeal and set aside the eviction decree of the learned<\/p>\n<p>trial Court dtd.5.11.2003 which was passed on the ground of default.<\/p>\n<p>This court issued notices to the respondents on 20.9.2007, noticing<\/p>\n<p>the contention of the appellant.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_7\">\n<p id=\"p_8\">3.     The learned counsel for the appellant &#8211; plaintiff submits that<\/p>\n<p>the learned trial Court had clearly found that for a period of 1.10.1994<\/p>\n<p>to 30.9.1995, the rent was remitted by money order to the plaintiff &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>landlord, but the same was returned and therefore, the said rent was<\/p>\n<p>deposited by the defendants &#8211; tenant in the Court under Section 19A<br \/>\n SBCSA NO.145\/2006 -LEKHRAJ MEHTA V\/S LRs OF RIKHAB CHAND . : JUDGMENT DTD.18.7.2008<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">                                       3\/5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>of the Rajasthan Rent Control Act, 1950. The plaintiff had accepted in<\/p>\n<p>his statement that on 10.10.1995, the said money was received by<\/p>\n<p>him. However, the learned counsel for the appellant &#8211; plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>submits that since the present suit for eviction was filed                        by the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff on 30.5.1996, even assuming that the rent for the period from<\/p>\n<p>1.10.1994 to 30.9.1995 was tendered\/deposited by the defendants &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>tenants, there was no evidence on the record that the tenant had not<\/p>\n<p>committed second default by not paying rent to the plaintiff &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>landlord for the period from 1.10.1995 to 30.5.1996, the date of filing<\/p>\n<p>of the suit.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_9\">\n<p id=\"p_10\">4.     The learned trial Court had given a categoric finding that the<\/p>\n<p>rent after the period from 30.9.1995 was not paid by the defendants &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>tenant.    The learned lower Appellate Court                    while reversing the<\/p>\n<p>decree of eviction at page 4 of the impugned judgment, has given the<\/p>\n<p>finding that for the period after 1.10.1995, the defendants appear to<\/p>\n<p>have paid advance rent of one year on 30.10.1995 and therefore, the<\/p>\n<p>learned trial Court had committed an error in passing the eviction<\/p>\n<p>decree.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_11\"> SBCSA NO.145\/2006 -LEKHRAJ MEHTA V\/S LRs OF RIKHAB CHAND . : JUDGMENT DTD.18.7.2008<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_2\">                                       4\/5<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"p_12\">5.     The learned counsel for the appellant &#8211; plaintiff submits that<\/p>\n<p>there was no such evidence on the record either before the learned<\/p>\n<p>trial Court or before the appellate Court on the basis of which the<\/p>\n<p>appellate Court gave the aforesaid finding about the advance rent of<\/p>\n<p>one year for the period commencing from 1.10.1995 and admittedly<\/p>\n<p>for a period of six months, second default before the date of filing of<\/p>\n<p>the suit had occurred on the part of the defendants &#8211; tenant and<\/p>\n<p>therefore, the learned appellate Court&#8217;s finding is perverse.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_13\">6.     The learned counsel for the respondents &#8211; defendants failed to<\/p>\n<p>point out any evidence on record on the basis of which the said<\/p>\n<p>finding of the appellate Court could be supported and sustained to the<\/p>\n<p>effect that the advance rent of one year for a period commencing from<\/p>\n<p>1.10.1995 was deposited in advance by the defendants tenant on<\/p>\n<p>31.10.1995. This Court has also perused the record of the learned trial<\/p>\n<p>Court as well as the appellate Court and there is no evidence on the<\/p>\n<p>record to this effect. The finding of the learned lower Appellate Court<\/p>\n<p>is not supported by any evidence on record. There is no denial or<\/p>\n<p>dispute on the fact that even if the rent for a period upto 1.10.1994 to<\/p>\n<p>30.9.1995 may be taken to have been deposited by the tenants under<br \/>\n SBCSA NO.145\/2006 -LEKHRAJ MEHTA V\/S LRs OF RIKHAB CHAND . : JUDGMENT DTD.18.7.2008<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_3\">                                       5\/5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Section 19A of the Act, even then there was no further deposit of rent<\/p>\n<p>for a period of six months before the date of filing of the suit and<\/p>\n<p>thus, admittedly, the second default was committed by the defendants<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_14\">&#8211; tenants. It is not understood how the learned first appellate Court<\/p>\n<p>observed that the tenant appears to have paid advance rent of one<\/p>\n<p>year.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_15\">\n<p id=\"p_16\">7.      In these circumstances, the present second appeal is allowed<\/p>\n<p>and the impugned order of the first appellate Court dtd.15.2.2005 is<\/p>\n<p>set aside and the judgment and decree of eviction of the learned trial<\/p>\n<p>Court dtd.5.11.2003 is restored.
