2. Heard both sides.

3.The revision petitioner herein is the tenant against whom RCOP.No.788 of 2017 was filed by the respondents/landlord for eviction under Section 10(2) (i) of the Tamil Nadu Buildings Lease and Rent Control Act 18/1960.

Against which, the appeal was filed. 4.On hearing both sides, the Rent Control Authority also dismissed the appeal by confirming the order passed in RCOP.No.788 of 2017. Aggrieved by that, the tenant preferred this revision. Page No.2/4

5.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that he is ready to deposit the rent and there is an arrears of Rs.40,000/- as on date and for the past two years, the rent has not been paid. There is no proof on the side of the revision petitioner that as on date they are depositing the rent.

6.Admittedly, the original RCOP proceeding was initiated in the year 2017 on the ground of wilful default of the payment of the rent. The conduct of the revision petitioner would reveal that till date he is not depositing the rent promptly.

7.Accordingly, this Civil Revision Petition is dismissed as no merits and the revision petitioner is directed to vacate the premises within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. No costs. 01.11.2021 Internet : Yes / No Index : Yes / No ub Page No.3/4
