User asked:
PAYMENT OF ASSESSED RENT BY RENT CONTROLLER IN INSTALMENTS

I am tenant. My ejectment has been sought by the landlord on the ground of non-payment of rent. The Rent Controller assessed the provisional rent and directed me to pay it on the next date of hearing. Can I seek time on the next date of hearing with the request to allow me to pay it in installments.

As per the settled Law, provisional rent assessed by the Rent Controller has to be paid on the 1st date of hearing. You cannot be granted 2nd opportunity for making payment of the provisionally assessed rent by the Rent Controller. Further, no question of installments arises at all. You will have to pay the assessed rent in one go. Any shortfall in payment of assessed rent will result into your eviction.
