P.E.Raghava Chetty and Sons – Respondent
Civil Revision Petition | CMP No.4920 of 2026 | R.C.A. No.25 of 2025 | RCOP No.306 of 2016



Advocates:

For the Respondents: A.E.Ravichandran

The court upheld eviction orders under the Tamil Nadu Buildings Lease and Rent Control Act, determining the petitioners presented no sufficient grounds for reversal.

Headnote:The judgment discusses the application of the Tamil Nadu Buildings Lease and Rent Control Act, particularly Section 10(3)(a)(3), regarding eviction proceedings. The court reviewed the concurrent orders of eviction from both the Rent Controller and the appellate authority and dismissed the petitioners' revision as having no merit. The court framed the central issue as whether sufficient grounds for challenging the eviction order existed. The court reasoned that the grounds raised were inadequate to overturn the previous decisions. The final outcome was the dismissal of the revision petition while granting a time extension for the petitioners to vacate the premises.

Table of Content
1. affidavit to vacate premises by specified date. (Para 1)
2. court dismissed revision for lack of merit. (Para 2)
3. respondent to refrain from execution until petitioners vacate. (Para 3)
4. final decision to close connected miscellaneous petition. (Para 4)

The copy of the affidavit has also been served on the learned counsel for the respondent, who has no objection for grant of time till 31.10.2026.

2.
