The court emphasized the limitations on the revisional court's power to examine de novo findings of fact and granted the petitioner a reasonable time to vacate the premises.

( 1 ) THIS writ petition is directed against the order dated 25th January, 2001 passed by the trial court decreeing the suit of landlord against the petitioner for ejectment due to arrears of rent. Against the order, petitioner preferred a revision before the revisional court under Section 25 of the Provincial Small Cause Courts, Act, 1887, which resulted into rejection of the revision. These are the two orders which the petitioner has challenged by means of this petition.

( 2 ) THE trial court after considering the evidence on record came to the conclusion and recorded its findings that the provisions of U. P. Act No. 13 of 1972 are not applicable to the tenancy in question. The trial court recorded the findings that tenancy has been determined under Section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882. It has also recorded that petitioner-tenant has arrears of rent and has not deposited the rent. The revisional court repelled the arguments of the petitioner and affirmed the order of the trial court. In view of the concurrent findings recorded by the trial court and affirmed by the revisional court, this Court will not interfere with the orders impugned in the present writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The above view has also been upheld in the case reported in Syed Yakoob v. K. S. Radha Krishnan and Ors. , air 1964 SC 477 (Volume 51 ).

( 3 ) LEARNED counsel for the petitioner Sri L. N. Pandey tries to assail the findings recorded by the trial couri as affirmed by the revisional court on the ground that revisional court refused to assess the findings in the manner learned counsel wanted to reassess the same.

IInd Additional District Judge, Saharanpur and ors. . 2000 (4) AWC 3173 : 2000 (2) ARC 739, has held that revisional court has no power to examine de novo findings of fact in exercise of power under Section 25 of Provincial Small cause Courts Act, 1887. In this view of the matter on the basis of law laid own by This Court as well as the Apex Court, the petition is dismissed.

( 4 ) LEARNED counsel for the petitioner Sri L. N. Pandey prayed that some reasonable time may be granted so that tenant may make alternative accommodation.
