1. Heard Mr. Deva, learned Counsel for the Petitioners and Mr. A. Phadte, learned Counsel for the Respondents.

2. The crux of the matter seems to be non payment of rent due by the tenant to the landlord. Mr. Phadte, learned Counsel for the tenant on instructions, seeks some time to file an affidavit to place on record the fact that the entire rent amount due and payable to the Petitioners (landlords) has infact been paid and there is no outstanding amount. Interestingly, this position is not contested by the learned Counsel for the Petitioners.
