JUDGMENT : ( 1. ) THIS is plaintiffs second appeal in a suit for ejectment of the defendant-tenant fro n an accommodation to which the M. P. Accommodation Control Act, 1961, is applicable. ( 2. ) THE suit was filed on two grounds (1) that the tenant was in arrears of rent and had not paid the same as required by section 12 (1) (a) of the Act, and (2) that the accommodation was required bona fide by the landlord for his own personal use within the meaning of section 12 (1) (e) of the Act. The trial Court disallowed the ground of bona fide requirement as the requisite, period after purchase of two months had not expired. It, however, decreed the suit on the ground of arrears of rent. The tenant thereafter filed an appeal which was allowed and decree of the trial Court was reversed as the conditions necessary under section 12 (1) (a) of the Act were not complied with. A notice of demand (Ex. P.-3) had been served on the defendant-tenant on 9th march 1964 to make payment within two months. That period of two months expired on 8th May 1964. The suit in this case was filed on 6th May 1964 before the period of two months had expired. The lower appellate Court was, therefore, right in dismissing the suit as no cause of action had arisen on the date when the suit was filed. ( 3. ) LEARNED counsel for the plaintiff-appellant contended that in any case during the pendency of the suit the tenant had failed to comply with the provisions of section 13 of the Act by making the necessary deposits and his defence ought to have been barred. The learned counsel requests that the defence of the defendent-tenant may be barred now so that he is unable to take a defence under section 12 of the Act. Sub-section (1) of section 11 starts with the following words : "on a suit or proceeding being instituted by the landlord on any of the grounds referred to in section 12, the tenant shall. . . . " The condition precedent for the application of section 13, therefore is that the suit must be based on one of the grounds mentioned in section on 12. These words must necessarily mean that the suit is properly based on one of the grounds. . . . " The condition precedent for the application of section 13, therefore is that the suit must be based on one of the grounds mentioned in section on 12. These words must necessarily mean that the suit is properly based on one of the grounds. If none of the grounds exists in favour of the plaintiff and a suit is filed by him falsely stating any of those ground; it cannot have the effect of applying section 12 to such a suit. In the present case it has been found that both the grounds under section 12 of the Act which were taken by the plaintiff had not really accrued when the suit was filed. Thus, in fact, the suit was not based on any of the grounds under section 12. In such a case the provisions of section 13 do not apply and there arising no question of non-compliance of section 13, no order barring the defence of the defendant tenant can be passed. ( 4. ) THE appeal is, therefore, dismissed as having no force. But, in view of the circumstances of the case, I direct the parties to bear their own costs in this appeal. Appeal dismissed.
