#Use and Occupation Charges

Allahabad High Court dismisses a tenant's writ petition against eviction but grants an eight-month extension to vacate premises, subject to strict conditions: monthly use-and-occupation charges, arrears payment, and a binding undertaking. The ruling clarifies that supervisory jurisdiction under Article 227 can be exercised to balance tenant hardship with landlord rights, setting a precedent for conditional relief in eviction disputes under the U.P. Rent Act.

The Allahabad High Court has ruled that a tenant who deposited rent far above the admitted monthly rate of Rs. 450 is entitled to a refund of the excess amount after lawful adjustment, even when eviction is upheld. This sets a clear precedent for landlords to account for overpayments under the U.P. Rent Act, protecting tenants from unjust enrichment and ensuring financial fairness in eviction proceedings.
