Authority: Calcutta High Court, Civil Appellate Jurisdiction
Order Date: 15 Oct 2026
Case Overview
- Petitioners Nandalal Singhania & Ors. filed a civil revisional application under Article 227 challenging the trial court’s order (dated 11 Aug 2025, Order No. 80) that allowed the defendant M/s. Bhajanlal Sajjan Kumar & Anr. to deposit current rent under Section 7(2) of the West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act, 1997.
- The dispute centered on alleged rent defaults since February 2003, the validity of rent deposits made before the City Civil Court and the Rent Controller, and discrepancies in premises description in the deposit challans.
- Both parties presented extensive documentary evidence; the petitioners argued the deposits were defective and the tenant was a defaulter, while the defendant contended that deposits were timely and valid.
Final Outcome
- The High Court found no patent illegality or material irregularity in the trial court’s order, held that the documentary evidence supported the tenant’s compliance, and concluded the tenant was not a defaulter.
- The revisional application was dismissed, no costs were awarded, and parties may obtain a certified copy of the order upon payment of fees.
