Pursuant to a dispute between ‘A’, the landlord and ‘B’, the tenant, ‘B’ approaches the Controller for fixing the fair rent for the rented building on 10.09.2011. After considering the case, the Controller fixed the fair rent of the sald building to be Rs12,000/- on 08.10.2011. ‘B’ dies on 20.10.2011. ‘C’, B’s son disputes the decision of the Controller on two grounds:-

The decision is as between ‘A’ and ‘b’. Thus it is not binding on ‘C’.

Even if the decision is to take effect, the rent of Rs 12,000/- is payable only from 08.10.2011.

Determine the validity of these two contentions.     (10 Marks)
