Defences of negative character which are intended to put the landlord to proof or are vague or are raised mala fide only to gain time and protract the proceedings, must not be taken into account by the Rent Controller and such applications must be rejected.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was noted that, in the present case the tenant had itself produced the Will under which the landlord had claimed rent and the tenant had started paying rent and after having started paying rent to the landlord, it was not open for the tenant to turn around and challenge the title of the landlord.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u201c\u2026Section 116 of the Indian Evidence Act as an estoppel on the Tenant to challenge the title of the Landlord during the continuation of the tenancy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Further, it was also settled that mere assertions made by tenant with respect to landlord\u2019s ownership of other buildings and with respect to alternate accommodations were not to be considered sufficient for grant of leave to defend.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Supreme Court\u2019s decision in, <em>Abid-ul-Islam v.
