JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE petitioner-tenant has filed this revision petition challenging the order dated 9.2.2006, passed by the Rent Controller, Jalandhar, whereby the provisional assessment of the rent and costs payable by the petitioner has been made.

(2.) IN this case, the respondents filed ejectment petition against the petitioner on the ground of non-payment of rent with effect from 1.7.2002 to 30.9.2002 at the rate of Rs. 3,758/- per month, with effect from 1.10.2002 to 30.9.2003 at the rate of Rs. 3,936/- per month, with effect from 1.10.2003 to 30.9.2004 at the rate of Rs. 4,132/- per month and with effect from 1.10.2004 to 30.9.2005 at the rate of Rs. 4,338/- per month. The respondents have also sought ejectment on the ground that the petitioner has materially impaired the value and utility of the demised premises.

(3.) COUNSEL for the petitioner submits that the Rent Controller has illegally assessed the provisional rent and costs payable by the petitioner without taking into consideration the submissions, pleadings and documents placed on record by the petitioner, therefore, the impugned order is liable to be set aside.
