2.

Learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of petitioner, after arguing the writ petition on merits for some time and on instructions of petitioner-tenant- Dilip Kumar, who is present in person, submits that in the shop in question, petitioner is running crockery business since the year 1979, hence, he prays that in case sufficient time is granted to vacate and hand over the possession of rented shop to landlord, petitioner-tenant is agreeable not to press the present petition on merits.

4. Learned counsel for respondent-landlord, on instructions of landlord, who is present in person, submits that at present rent is being paid @ Rs.1617/- per month, which is too meager looking to the locality of the shop in question, hence, if petitioner pays rent @ Rs.10,000/- two years time may be granted to petitioner-tenant to vacate the rented shop.
