GURBACHAN SINGH Vs. TARSEM LAL

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Vide order dated 23.05.2011, Rent Controller, Ludhiana, had ordered eviction of the tenant-petitioner, for he had ceased to occupy the demised premises i.e. a shop, which forms part of property No.B XII 337, Shahpur Road, Ludhiana. As even an appeal preferred against the said order failed and was dismissed vide judgment dated 29.04.2014, tenant is before this court.

(2.) In defence, it was pleaded, inter alia, that neither the tenant had ceased to occupy the shop in dispute nor the same was lying locked since February, 1997. The tenant was conducting a Cloth business in the premises under the name and style; "M/s Ajanta Textile". It was denied that he had shifted his business to shop No.9, Guru Nanak Complex, Dr. Gujjar Mal Road, Ludhiana.

(3.) I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record.
