Naurata Ram was stated to be running a canteen and was in exclusive possession of that premises.

(3.) THE learned Rent Controller as well as the learned Appellate Authority rejected the plea of the petitioner and, as mentioned above, passed an order of eviction against the petitioner. Aggrieved by the same, present revision petition has been filed.
