FIRST LAW

Rent Control & Eviction - Mesne profits and use and occupation charges - the courts after passing of an order of eviction can always put the occupant of the premises to terms including payment of mesne profit. The very purpose of awarding mesne profit or use and occupation charges is to put a check on the diabolical plans of the tenant who has been ordered to be evicted and ensure that he does not squat on the premises by paying a meager rent. At the same time even the landlord is also compensated to receive higher rent than the contractual rent.
