VIDYAWATI Vs. CHAWALI DEVI

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE landlady filed an appeal against the order of allotment. THE memorandum of appeal was signed by the counsel. After more than a year of its institution the landlady made an application that by oversight the memorandum of appeal was not signed by her but only by her counsel and that she may be permitted to sign it. This application was allowed.

(2.) AGGRIEVED the allottee has come up to this Court in revision. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that Rule 7 (1) of the U. P. Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent & Eviction) Rules, 1972, is mandatory, that it specifically provides that every memorandum of appeal shall be signed by the appellant and his counsel and that the memo, in the present case not having been signed by the appellant was not entertainable. According to the learned counsel the defect could not be cured by permitting the appellant to sign it subsequently.
