BALBIR SINGH Vs. MOHINDER SINGH AHLUWALIA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS is a Civil Revision No. 2548 of 1982 filed by Balbir Singh son of Shri Kirpa Singh against Mohinder Singh Ahluwalia and Sajjan Singh, Advocate, and it has been directed against the order dated 8.6.1982, passed by the appellate authority, Patiala, who, allowed the appeal of Shri Sajjan Singh, Advocate, under Section 15 of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act and dismissed the petition under Section 13 of the said Act filed by Shri Balbir Singh against Shri Mohinder Singh Ahluwalia and Shri Sajjan Singh.

(2.) DURING the pendency of this revision, Shri Balbir Singh has also expired on 20.1.1997. Though an application was made on behalf of the respondents for the abatement of the revision but by virtue of the amendment brought under Order 22 by the High Court, this revision survives and it will be examined whether the order of the appellate authority is justified or not.

(3.) NOTICE of the Rent petition was given to the respondents. Shri Mohinder Singh Ahluwalia, respondent No. 1, filed the written statement contending that he was not in arrears of rent. He admitted the relationship of landlord and tenant but denied the factum of the sub-tenancy. Rather he stated that Shri Sajjan Singh is in possession of premises with the consent of Shri Balbir Singh.
