Written Statement:
1. It is true that the defendant has been tenant on a monthly rent of Rs. 3,000/-. It is also true that the defendant fell in arrears of rent for six months. The defendant submits that he could not pay rent owing to stagnation of his business. He orally informed the plaintiff about his difficulty. The plaintiff promised not to press for rent for one year. Much against his promise, this suit is laid. As such, the suit is not maintainable.
2. The defendant denies receiving any notice determining tenancy. The question of the defendant refusing such notice does not arise. The suit is also bad for want of proper Section 106 T.P. Act notice.
3. The defendant therefore prays for dismissal of the suit with costs.
