JUDGMENT

Dated this the 19^th day of January, 2026

V.G.Arun, J

These original petitions are filed by the landlords, seeking eviction of the tenants in their building. The petitioners have moved the Rent Control Court seeking joint trial of all the rent control petitions and are aggrieved by delay on the part of the Rent Control Court in passing orders on the application for joint trial and in deciding the rent control petitions.

2. On going through the proceedings of the court we notice that the application for joint trial was heard and is being posted for orders repeatedly.

Taking the above factors into consideration, we dispose of the original petitions directing the Rent Control Court to pass orders on the application for joint trial within one month. We also direct the Rent Control Court to ensure that the rent control petitions are decided expeditiously and at any rate, within six months.
