JUDGMENT - Dr. COUTO G.F., J.:—The very maintainability of this revision application directed against the Order dated 24th April, 1989, whereby the learned District Judge, Panaji, stayed the judgment and decree passed by the Civil Judge, Senior Division, Panaji, in a money suit, is the subject of a strong challenge by the respondent. Therefore, while admitting this writ petition, my learned brother Kamat, J., who dealt with it at the time of admission made it subject to the maintainability qua section 46 of the Goa, Daman and Diu Buildings (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control Act, 1968. Further, presumably under the assumption that the challenge to the maintainability of this revision application was in respect of the question as to whether a revision application against an Order passed under the Rent Control Act lies to the High Court, he added "Learned Advocate-General to lend assistance to the Court". The matter came now for hearing, and therefore, the first and the foremost question to be dealt with it whether the revision application is maintainable.

2. The respondents has filed a suit for recovery of a sum of Rs. 37,028 together with interest thereon at the rate of 15% per annum
