SHEFALI CHATTERJI Vs. ADDTIONAL DISTRICT JUDGE VARANASI

JUDGEMENT

(1.) LIST revised. None appeared on behalf of petitioner. However, I have perused the record.

(2.) THIS writ petition is directed against the order dated 30.07.2003 passed by Additional District Judge, Court No. 1, Varanasi.

(3.) THE petitioner filed an application under Section 12 read with Section 16(1)(b) of U.P. Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972 (hereinafter referred to as the "Act, 1972") for release of shop in question alleging that respondent no. 2 was let out the premises only for 11 months and after expiry of said period in August, 1991 he ceased to be a legal occupant thereof and, therefore, is liable to be ejected. Since petitioner needs the accommodation in question for settling her daughter-in-law by commencing a business by converting some part of house in question in commercial accommodation, therefore, it should be released in her favour.
