She also asserted that by virtue of gift deed dated 29th July, 1957 by her husband Kuldip Singh in her favour, she became the owner of these premises and Bhagwant Rai tenant. She also asserted that the tenant had sub -let these premises to various persons without her consent and thus was liable to be evicted.

(3.) All the material issues were found in favour of the landlady and it was held that the tenant was not entitled to sublet the premises to the various persons, and therefore, was liable to be ejected on this ground and consequently the order of ejectment was passed against the tenant -petitioner. In appeal this finding of the Rent Controller has been maintained. Feeling aggrieved against this the tenant has come up in revision to this Court.
