If whole of the arrears as demanded by the landlord had been tendered by M.O it is legal unless there is contract or law to the contrary. If the landlord refuses to accept the MO, his claim of ejectment will fail. The tenant can not be called as defaulter in such a case.

If the law provides that all the amounts including costs, advocate fees etc should be deposited to claim protection, then obviously all the amounts must be deposited. Otherwise, the tenant will not get protection.
