Would like to get some insights on payment to Company Bus Service provider during Covid 19 Pandemic

Dear All,

I would like to get some insights on payment to the Company Bus Service provider during the pandemic. As the bus service was not used for 2-3 months during the pandemic due to the lockdown, I would like to inquire whether the company is liable to pay for the unused service, i.e., monthly rent.

As per a latest SC ruling, monthly rentals are a mutual agreement, and the payment of rent cannot be refused; it is mandatory for the tenant for any service that they use. It is up to the Landlord to waive off the rental amount partially or wholly.

Practical advice: Please renegotiate amicably on the payment for 3 months' unused transport services where only a component may be charged, like the base rental amount, recurring/continuation charge, etc. If contested in a court of law, it will be required to be paid in full by you, as per the laid contract of services.
