1 CRA 197 OF 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CIVIL REVISION APPLICATION NO. 197 OF 2010 Narayan Balkrishna Kedari Applicant V E R S U S Sharad Dattatraya Saraf Respondent Mr. R.D. Bhalerao, Advocate for the applicant Mr. S.K. Shinde, Advocate for the respondent CORAM : A.V. NIRGUDE, J. DATED : 18th January, 2011 PER COURT : 1. The original defendant / tenant has filed this revision against the concurrent findings of the Courts below that he had committed default in paying the rent and so is liable to be evicted under the provisions of Section 15 of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act. 2. Admittedly, the applicant deposited the arrears of rent, seven days after expiry of 90 days period prescribed under sub-section 3 of Section 15 of the Act. The Courts below held that the delay had debarred him from taking advantage of the provisions of sub-section 3. Since the applicant did not deposit the arrears of rent within a period of 90 days, the Courts below passed the impugned decree of eviction. It is apparent that the provisions of sub-section 3 are required to be strictly complied with. There is no possibility of any 2 CRA 197 OF 2010 relaxation. Shri Bhalerao, the learned Advocate for the applicant / tenant could not lay his hand on any Judgment which interpreted the said provision and provided some relaxation to the said provision. The revision should therefore fail. The Civil Revision Application stands dismissed. ( A.V. NIRGUDE, J. ) SRM/cra/197/10/18/1/11
