(1.) These two writ petitions have been filed by the landlord and tenants with a prayer to issue writ in the nature of certiorari quashing the judgment and order dated 31.05.2012, passed by learned Additional District Judge, Court No.13, Lucknow in Rent Appeal No.4 of 2010 and the judgment and order dated 22.12.2005, passed by learned Prescribed Authority (Civil Judge, Senior Division), Mohanlalganj, Lucknow in P.A. Case No.38 of 2003.
(2.) Admittedly, Rameshwar Prasad was landlord of the disputed premises who died on 05.12.2002, leaving behind two sons namely Rajesh Rastogi, Rakesh Rastogi and two daughters Pushpa Rastogi and Sangeeta Rastogi. The opposite parties before the learned Prescribed Authority under U.P. Act No.13 of 1972 were the tenants. Out of four legal representatives of the deceased-landlord, Rajesh Rastogi moved application for release of the building on the ground of personal requirement as he is a Chartered Accountant, who wishes to establish his office-cum-chamber in the disputed premises. It was also pleaded that he is jobless. It is also admitted that the tenants were running a partnership business in the name and style of M/s Amarnath Ajay Kumar. Learned Prescribed Authority rejected the prayer for release, against which the landlord preferred rent appeal no.4 of 2010 which was also dismissed on the sole ground that the landlord has not impleaded the firm of which the tenants were partners. Due to this reason both the parties have preferred separate writ petitions.
(3.) Heard learned counsel for both the parties and gone through the records.
