The said suit was decreed by the learned trial Court but in appeal the judgment and decree of the trial Court was reversed on the ground that the area where the shop in dispute is situated is now within the Municipal limits of Kharkhoda and the provisions of the Haryana Urban (Control of Rent & Eviction) Act, 1973 apply to the shop in dispute and, thus, the civil Court has no jurisdiction to try the suit. It is the said judgment and decree which is subject matter of challenge in the present appeal.
