RAVINDER SINGH Vs. MUKHTIAR SINGH

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS is tenant's revision petition challenging order dated 22.12.2006 of Rent Controller, Dasuya ordering his eviction from the demised premises and judgment dated 15.1.2011 of the Appellate Authroity dismissing his appeal against the aforesaid order.

(2.) SHORN of unnecessary details, it is suffice to say that eviction of the petitioner-tenant has been ordered by the authorities below, on the ground that the petitioner has effected material alterations and thus, has impaired the value and utility of the shop in dispute, by removing the intervening wall in between the demised shop and the shop under the tenancy of Balwinder Singh (brother of the petitioner).

(3.) CHALLENGING the aforesaid findings, learned counsel for the petitioner has vehemently argued that the findings of the authorities below are result of misreading and misinterpretation of the evidence on record and there is no evidence on record that the petitioner has removed the said wall. It is the further case of the petitioner that the landlord has failed to prove that there was any damage or alternation to the demised shop and in absence of any such evidence, the eviction of the petitioner cannot be ordered on the said ground.
