Re: landlord and tenant

You have made a mention of Supreme Court judgement in Rakesh Wadhawan's case. As per this judgement the rent is not to be 'tendered' anymore; rather the tenant is to make payment of rent only after the court has passed an 'interim assessment order' of your liability to make payment. You may want to contact a qualified lawyer for appropriate guidance. If you do not have one, you are welcome to write me back by e-mail and I may recommend someone in the Chandigarh District Courts to help you since I also belong to Chandigarh.
