The petitioner is the landlord who filed a suit for eviction against the respondent. The trial Court decreed the suit on the ground of bonafide requirement and arrears of rent. In appeal preferred by the respondent, by the impugned order, stay of execution of the decree for possession has been granted by the Appellate Court subject to the respondent paying compensation at the rate of Rs. 1,000/- per month till the disposal of the appeal. The amount was made payable only from the date of filing of the appeal. The submission of the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner is that the compensation amount is not fixed in accordance with law laid down by the Apex Court and is extremely on the lower side. 2 2.
