***** ARCHANA PURI, J.

As per learned counsel for the petitioner/tenant, the petitioner is in arrears of rent for the period from 01.09.2021 to 01.09.2023 i.e. for a period of 24 months.
However, learned counsel for the respondent submits that the petitioner has made payment for the period w.e.f. 01.06.2020 to 30.04.2022, and gives an offer that the same may be adjusted from the arrears, due from 01.09.2021 to 01.09.2023. After the said adjustment, it is submitted that the petitioners may pay for a period of two months thereafter and the issue with regard to the rent to be paid from 01.06.2019 till 01.09.2021, may be taken up by the trial Court, at the time of final disposal.
