For the Respondents: Himanshu Buttan

A rent revision petition under the Delhi Rent Control Act can be disposed of as withdrawn when parties arrive at a mutual settlement regarding the vacation of the tenanted premises and payment of occupation charges, provided such undertaking is recorded by the court.

Headnote:The petitioner challenged an eviction order under S. 25B(8) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, and Art. 227 of the Constitution of India. The dispute involved a prayer to set aside the order on leave to defend. During the proceedings, the parties reached a settlement regarding the voluntary vacation of the premises by the specified deadline and the payment of occupation charges. The court addressed the question of whether the eviction petition could be disposed of in view of the settlement reached between the parties. The court recorded the undertaking provided by the tenant concerning the timeline for handing over physical possession and the payment of statutory dues. The court observed that the voluntary commitment by the tenant to vacate the premises on or before the agreed date constituted a valid basis for the disposal of the revision petition. The petition is dismissed as withdrawn.
