Payment of arrears during the pendency of Petition for eviction


Payment of arrears during the pendency of Petition for eviction cannot be a ground for rejecting claim under section 11 (2) b (Arrears of Rent). It can be considered and adjusted while considering an application under Section 11 (2) c.
Payment of arrears with 6% interest and expense for sending notice is liable to be paid, and cause of action for eviction starts on the 15th day of receiving notice.  This is decided by Kerala High Court in  Usha Anil Kumar v. Sakeena 2017 (3) KLT 191
