JUDGMENT
Nidhi Gupta, J.
Prayer in this revision petition is for setting aside the order dated 6.12.2022 (Annexure P-7) passed by Ld. Rent Controller, Malerkotla whereby the application moved by the petitioner for correcting the already framed issue no.3 and for framing of additional issue has been dismissed.
2. Brief facts of the case are that the respondent filed an application under section 13 of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949 (for short 'the Act') for eviction of the petitioner from the demised shop, as fully detailed in the head note of the application, on the grounds of bona fide necessity and non-payment of rent. During the pendency of the eviction petition, petitioner filed an application seeking correction of the already framed issue No.3 and for framing of additional issue. It is this application which has been dismissed by the Ld. Rent Controller, Malerkotla vide order dated 6.12.202
The court's decision was influenced by the applicability of the 1995 Act and the grounds for eviction under the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949.
The recurring nature of the landlord's bona fide requirement justifies granting liberty to withdraw the eviction petition and file a fresh one on the same cause of action.
The court's decision emphasized that hearing the application for framing additional issues and the main appeal on the same date would not prejudice the petitioner.
