#Section 13(6)

Madhya Pradesh High Court rules that a tenant’s admission of rent in the plaint precludes disputing the amount later, mandating defence striking under Section 13(6) of the MP Accommodation Control Act. The ruling clarifies that trial courts cannot entertain rent disputes once admitted, reinforcing landlord rights in eviction proceedings.

MP High Court sets aside a trial court order for failing to explicitly fix provisional rent under Section 13(2) of the M.P. Accommodation Control Act, 1961. The ruling mandates precise determination of rent within 30 days, warning that non-compliance risks striking the tenant’s defence in eviction proceedings.
