Yes, the said landlord can not demand rent for the month of May, as you already vacated the said shop. Now, if the landlord enforces or compels you to deposit the said rent, just ignore his requests, as he can not take any action regarding the collection of rent for the month of may.

such kind of cases are a little complicated however court have no right to increase monthly rent from 12000 to 78000 at instant as under the rent control act have provson of maximum 10 percent or 15 percent at once or yearly depending upon state govt notification. do consult some good lwayer and contest your case.
