The appeals, in turn, were filed against the orders, dated 29.8.2012, passed by the Court of Rent Controller-cum-IV Additional Junior Civil Judge, Visakhapatnam, in RCC Nos.41 of 2007 and 49 of 2008 and certain applications filed under Section 11 of the Andhra Pradesh Buildings (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control Act, 1960 (for short 'the Act'), in those two eviction petitions. In fact, the proceedings of such large number are between one landlord and his tenant, in respect of only one item of property.
