The land lord is going to sue the tenant for eviction of rented premises as he committed default in payment of six months rent i.e; 1.5 lakhs. The rent for one year is Rs.3 lakhs. whether the court fee should be paid on one year rent alone or additional court fee on arrears of rent too? and about mesne profits(future rent) please clarify....

Thank u Sir,
Section 40(2) of ANDHRA PRADESH COURT FEES AND SUITS VALUATION ACT, 1956 says
In a suit for recovery of immovable property from a tenant including a tenant holding over, fee shall be computed on the premium, if any, and on the rent payable for the year next before the date of presenting the plaint.
I could not understand it, will u plz explain it?

From the contents of the provision it is clear that you have to pay the court fee for the rents to be received prior to the date of filing the suit.
