PRATIBHA RANI, J. (Oral)

CM(M) 719/2015

1. The grievance of the petitioner/tenant (respondent in Eviction Petition No.8/2013) is that the learned Trial Court, in order to ensure compliance of order dated 14th August, 2014 passed by this Court in RC.Rev.No.271/2014, has practically denied opportunity to the petitioner/tenant to lead evidence.

2. In order to bring home this point Mr. Sachin Chopra, learned counsel for the petitioner/tenant has placed on record the copies of the proceedings before learned Trial Court to highlight that in fact it was the respondent/landlady (petitioner in Eviction Petition No.8/2013) who has taken most of the time to lead evidence not only after passing of order dated 14th August, 2014 in RC. Rev.No.271/2014 to decide the eviction petition in a time bound manner. Even after the amendment of the eviction petition and filing of the written statement to the amended petition, the respondent/landlady has consumed the entire time to lead evidence.

3. Another grievance of the petitioner/tenant is that on 01st August, 2015 when four applications filed by him were listed for hearing before learned Rent Controller, lawyers were abstaining from work. D
