(2.) IN the application for leave to contest is was pleaded on behalf of the respondent-tenant that the premises in question is not a residential building and, as such, is not covered under Section 13-A of the Act; that the petition is bad as the same has been filed for a portion of the premises and not the premises in full ; that the petitioner along with the other co-owners have got sufficient accommodation. The learned Rent Controller found that there are sufficient grounds for which permission to contest the application should be given.
