PREM CHAND JAIN, J.

1. Faqir Chand petitioner is occupying a portion of house No. 4497 situated in Bazaza Mohalla/Shivala Mohalla, Ambala Cantt, as a statutory tenant, on payment of rent at the date of Rs. 6.50 per month under the respondent, who filed a petition for eviction of the petitioner on the grounds of non-payment of rent and bona fide requirement for her own personal use and occupation. The petition was contested by the petitioner on various grounds. As arrears of rent were duly tendered, the ground of default in payment of rent was abandoned by the respondent. The only issue that survived, for decision was the bona fide personal requirement of the landlady. On consideration of the evidence led by the parties, the learned Rent Controller accepted the claim of the landlady and ordered ejectment of the petitioner vide his order dated 30th Jan., 1980.

3. Still dissatisfied, the present petition has been filed by the tenant. Initially, the petition came up for hearing before M.R. Sharma J., on 14th
