3. When the matter came up for hearing, it appears that the appeal was adjourned several times to ascertain how much amount the respondents/defendants can pay an amount towards rent for enjoyment of the suit schedule premises, and the learned counsel for the respondents/ defendants states that the respondents/defendants are able to pay 15 bags per acre towards rent for enjoyment of the suit schedule premises, for which the learned counsel for the appellants/plaintiffs produced the certificate issued by the Executive Officer, Sri Bandaru Perammagari Swamygari Annadana Samajam, Vadapalem village, Kothapeta Mandal, East Godavari District wherein the leasehold of temple lands in the adjacent village were auctioned fetching the cist equivalent to 44.85 bags per acre. Even though the respondents/defendants admitted that they are tenants of the appellants/plaintiffs and enjoying the suit schedule premises @ 15 bags per acre, they have not paid any amount and that when once the respondents/defendants admitted that they are tenants of the appellants/plaintiffs, they are obligated to pay appropriate rent for enjoying the premises and that the respondents/defendants have come forward to pay certain amount for enjoying the suit schedule premises.
