SUSHIL CHAND SHARMA Vs. SUSHILA DEVI

Decided On November 20, 2001
SUSHIL CHAND SHARMA Appellant
V/S
SUSHILA DEVI Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) . The Tenant/Revisionist had disputed the ownership of the Respondent. He had also contended that the premises had been let out for commercial purposes. On these two grounds the Additional Rent Controller has found against the Tenant. These two grounds have not been argued before me.

(2.) . It has also been contended by the Tenant/Revisionist that the accommodation available in the premises presently occupied by the Landlady not only are three bedrooms, one drawing/dining room etc. on the Ground Floor, but identical accommodation on the First Floor also. In the evidence led by the Tenant/Revisionist, even this ground had been ignored. It ie relevant that in order to prove the falsity of the Tenant's contention, the Landlord had moved an application for the appointment of a Local Commissioner which was vehemently opposed by the Tenant. The Additional Rent Controller had disposed of this application with leave to the Landlord to file photographs. It is not controvertible that accommodation similar to the Ground Floor is not available on the First Floor. In fact temporary structures have been constructed thereon and school/college is being run, as appears from the photographs filed in the Trial Court, and shown by learned counsel for the Landlady.

(3.) . In the eviction petition it had been contended that the Landlady has three sons and two daughters. Mr. Sethi, learned counsel appearing on behalf of Respondent, had submitted that even if it be assumed that the daughters were not living in their parental house, there was still an extreme paucity of accommodation keeping in view the need of the sons of the Landlady,
