refused to accept the valid tender of rent. Hence, the present petition has been filed by the
petitioner.
Reply to the petition in the form of objections have been filed by the
respondent on 05.12.2025.
It is stated in the objections that there is no relationship of landlord and
tenant between the parties. It is further stated that the tenanted premises were let out Mr.

-- 1 of 2 --
During the course of arguments, Ld. Counsel for respondent submits that the
present petition may be allowed without prejudice to the rights and contentions of the
respondents.
It is trite that deciding the relationship of landlord and tenant between the
parties or the question of sub-letting is beyond the scope of the present petition. Keeping
in view that for the purpose of deciding the present petition, summary procedure is to be
adopted and that by the present petition, only permission for depositing rent is being
sought, the objections as raised in the present case need not be decided.
Objections filed are dismissed.
Hence, the present petition is allowed with a liberty to the respondent to
withdraw the rent deposited in this case without prejudice to his rights and contentions.
File be consigned to record room after due compliance.
