Reported in: ILR1991KAR3978

ORDERRamachandriah, J. 1. This Revision Petition filed by the tenant under Section 115 C.P.C. is not yet admitted as the learned Counsel for the respondent-landlord raised a preliminary objection that this Civil Revision Petition is not maintainable as the tenant has not deposited the rents due by him either at the time of the filing of this revision petition or subsequently. So, Sri Chandrasekharaiah, learned Counsel for the petitioner-tenant and Sri Ashok Haranahalli, learned Counsel for the respondent-landlord, are heard on that point. 2. Sri Chandrasekharaiah contended that the provisions of Section 29(1) of the Karnataka Rent Control Act, 1961 (for short 'the Act') are not applicable to Revision Petitions filed under Section 115 C.P.C. and, therefore, it is not open to the respondent-landlord to contend that this revision petition is not maintainable on the ground of non-deposit of arrears of rent as required under Section 29(1) of the Act, which reads as under: '29.
