In an eviction petition by landlord against his tenant under H.P. Urban Rent Control Act is passed directing the tenant to pay arrears of rent within one month of the date of order and also to pay future rent month by month. Tenant paid the amount to his Advocate, who handed it over to his Junior Advocate for deposit. But the Junior Advocate due to some personal need spends the money and does not deposit. Landlord filed an application for eviction under H.P. Urban Rent Control Act for striking the defence of tenant. Tenant pleads for extension of time and negligence of the Junior Advocate of counsel ? How would you decide ?        (5 marks)
