In Brief
A tenant petitioner had represented to the Supreme Court that he was ready to deposit outstanding rent arrears of approximately Rs 50 lakhs within eight weeks. When he failed to comply with this Court order, the Court issued a directive to detain him in judicial custody pending his appearance at the next hearing. The judgment underscores that representations made before Court must be honoured, and non-compliance with Court orders regarding monetary deposits may result in custodial coercion to ensure compliance."
