GHULAM MUHAMAMD VS Mrs. MUSTAFA KAZMIE Cantonments Rent Restriction Act 1963--17 , Cantonments Rent Restriction Act 1963--24 , Ss.17 & 24---eviction of tenant on ground of default in payment of rent---Tenant (appellant) challenged order of Rent Controller whereby his eviction from the premises was ordered for failure to comply with the order to deposit the monthly rent---Validity---Order of the Rent Controller was violated and rent was deposited after the due date set by Rent Controller---Such blatant violation came within the meaning of wilful default and could not be treated as a technical default as claimed by the tenant---Default had been amply proved by the landlord and even the tenant himself by the production of receipts that were on record---High Court while dismissing the tenant's appeal, directed the tenant to hand over possession of the premises to the landlord within a period of 45 days.
