There is no interest on the advance amount. The said agreement expired on 01.02.2002 and again a 3 year rental agreement was entered between the petitioner and the respondent on 01.02.2004. However, there was dispute between the petitioner and the respondent with regard to payment of rent and the terms of the rental agreement. Hence, the landlord/respondent insisted the petitioner to vacate the subject property, but the petitioner does not vacate the premises, due to which the landlord/respondent filed R.L.T.O.P.No.1 of 2021 on the file of the Principal District Munsif, Tirupattur and the same was allowed with a direction to the petitioner to pay the arrears of rent and vacate the subject property and handover the same to the Respondent. 2.3 Challenging the same, the Petitioner/tenant preferred an appeal in R.L.T.O.P.No.3 of 2024 on the file of the Rent Control Appellate Authority, Tirupattur who dismissed the appeal vide order dated 18.06.2025 and confirmed the order passed in R.L.T.O.P.No.1 of 2021 on the file of the Principal District Munsif, Tirupattur(Rent Controller, Tirupattur).

The learned counsel appearing for the Revision petitioner/tenant submitted that he is a statutory tenant and he is also regularly paying the rent to the respondent. He further submitted that the learned Judge did not analyze any evidence for the purpose of arriving at such a finding that the respondent requires the premises for performing poojas and without any such consideration of the fact and the materials on record passed the order mechanically. Hence he prays to allow this petition. 4. The learned counsel for the Respondent/landlord submitted that that they are in need of the premises for performing poojas and neivediyas are being held for the five idols of Panduranagar Rukamani. Since more than 50 people of the respondent's community participate in the poojas. He further submits that there was default in rent by the petitioner. Hence he seeks a direction of this Court to the petitioner to vacate the subject property. 5.Heard the learned counsel for the revision petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondent and perused materials available on 4/8 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRP.No. 3738 of 2025 record. 6. On a perusal of records it is seen that the subject property was let out to the petitioner only for rent and after some period the respondents are in need of the premises for performing poojas and neivediyas which is being held for the five idols of Panduranagar Rukamani. Since more than 50 people of the respondent's community participate in the poojas. Hence they requested the tenant to vacate the premises.

Hence, the order passed on 18.06.2025 in R.L.T.A.No.3 of 2024 on the file of the Rent Control Appellate Authority, Tirupattur ( District Court, Tirupattur), is perfectly valid and there is no necessity to interfere with the same. 7.Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, that the Respondent have let the subject property for rent with a bona fide intention and the petitioner ought to have vacated from the premises as the landlord require the subject property. 5/8 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRP.No. 3738 of 2025 8.
