GIRDHARI LAL Vs. WADHU RAM

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS petition is directed against the order of the learned Rent Controller, Rajpura dated 7.5.2011 and that of the learned Appellate Authority by which the eviction of the petitioner has been ordered from the demised premisses which is a shop.

(2.) THE respondent/landlord filed a petition seeking eviction of the petitioner on the following grounds : -

(3.) THE petitioner as a tenant disputed the averments and tendered rent for the disputed period which largely rendered this issue irrelevant. On merits, it was pleaded that the respondent/landlord is in occupation of two shops one of which is adjacent to the shop in question where he is running his business along with his son. There are two more shops in occupation on the other side of his house and that personal necessity expressed by the respondent is not genuine. It was further pleaded that the respondent had got one shop vacated from a doctor and the same is in possession of the landlord where he can easily carry on his business for his son and his grandson. The petitioner admitted that he had purchased the shop from one Partap Kamlesh and Jagdish Kamal about 10 years back where his son is carrying on his business. The learned Rent Controller accepted the petition ordering eviction of the petitioner by accepting the plea of personal necessity. The Appellate Court did similarly.
