Mr. Sharma says that the defendants also have an interest, inter alia, in Flat No. 6434, C-6 & 7, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi-110070. 2.1 It is Mr. Sharma's contention that, therefore, any arrangement made by the plaintiff for letting out the said property should also take care of the interest of the defendants.

Accordingly, the following directions are issued in the matter: (i) The plaintiff will have leave to allow the prospective tenant i.e. Mr. Prateek Kongari to take possession of the aforementioned property as a tenant pursuant to the lease agreement dated 25.08.2020.

(iv) The aforesaid arrangement will not come in the way of the defendants seeking further sums from the plaintiff towards maintenance in appropriate proceedings instituted, in that behalf, as per law. 6.
