TENANCY

Supreme Court has ruled that the power to strike out the defence vested in the Rent Controller under Section 15(7) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958 is discretionary and not essential. The Court observed that it was not only a willful failure or deliberate default or volitional of non performance that can call for the exercise of the extraordinary power.
