GANGA BISHAN Vs. PURAN SINGH

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS is a tenant's revision and is directed against the order of the learned District Judge, Amritsar allowing the appeal from the order of the Rent Controller and directing the tenant's eviction and delivery of possession of the house in dispute to the landlord.

(2.) PURAN Singh landlord had initiated proceedings for ejectment of Ganga Bishan on ground of personal requirements and the only material issue which arose in the proceedings is :

(3.) ON revision, the learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the accommodation vacated by Dewan Chand must be considered to be sufficient for the landlord's married son and his family. In support of his contention the counsel has taken me through the statement of Puran Singh' landlord dated 31st August, 1962 when he declined to even accept the key from Dewan Chand on the pretext, as the counsel describes it, that he was still his tenant and that he should personally come and deliver possession. This, according to the learned counsel, indicates that he is trying to conceal the true statement of affairs with the sole object of securing an eviction order to which he is not otherwise lawfully entitled.
