1. Vide the instant revision petition, Petitioner seeks to challenge the order dated 04.04.2022, passed by the learned Additional Rent Controller, West District, Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi in Execution Petition No. 18/2019, whereby the learned ARC dismissed the objection petition filed by the Petitioner herein under Section 25 of the Delhi Rent Control Act (hereinafter referred to as 'the DRC Act') against the eviction order dated 04.05.2017, passed by the learned ARC, West District, Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi in ARC No.26161/2016 as well as an application under Order VI Rule 17 CPC for amendment of the objection petition.
2. Shorn of details, the facts leading to the instant revision petition are as under:
a) A suit for eviction was filed by the Respondent herein with regard to the property bearing No. WZ-113, Meenakshi Garden, Tilak Nagar, New Delhi (hereinafter referred to as 'the property in question'), claiming themselves to be the owners of the said property which they purchased from the previous owners by way of sale deed dated 09.09.198
The legal principle established is that a claim of ownership and adverse possession that has been rejected in previous judgments cannot be re-agitated and amounts to an abuse of the process of law.

The court affirmed that an obstructor in eviction proceedings lacks the requisite independent right or title where evidence of collusion and previous judgments disfavor the obstructor's claim.
The main legal point established in the judgment is the principle of estoppel, where the tenant's acceptance of the landlord's ownership through various actions and documents led to the dismissal of ....
Tenancy and Land laws - Eviction - There is nothing that petitioners have been able to bring forth to indicate that finding has been arrived at by a misreading of facts or omitting relevant evidence ....
In eviction proceedings, the question of title is irrelevant; only the landlord-tenant relationship and grounds for eviction matter.
An Agreement to Sell or Power of Attorney does not constitute valid ownership transfer under property laws; the landlord retains rights to evict tenants based on bona fide needs.
Once an issue has been adjudicated in court, it cannot be re-litigated in later proceedings, maintaining the authority of previous judgments on the same matter.
A third person claiming ownership of a property cannot intervene in a landlord-tenant dispute and must seek a separate declaration of ownership.
