2. Learned AG & OT has brought to the notice of this Court that the revision had taken place as early as in 2020 and till now, no steps were taken by the Applicant to enter into a fresh lease agreement, but, however, he continues to remain in the premises by paying the old rent.

3. According to the applicant, though the Government had earlier enhanced the guideline value, subsequently, it was reduced and that the present demand, namely, enhancement by 300% is not justified. Hence, it was prayed that the order dated 13.03.2020 needs interference by this Court.

4. It is seen that the old agreement already got expired and the Applicant has not entered into a new agreement as demanded by the learned AG & OT. In the https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
