(2.) The contention of the appellant is that on mere recital in the sale deed Ex.1, suit has been filed. There is no relationship of land lord and tenant between the parties. Ex.1, sale deed has been executed on 18.4.81 but it has been recorded in register only on 15.5.81 and prior to the registration, the sale could not be treated complete and no rights devolve to the respondent but notice has been served on him only on 18.4.81. Godown shop and residential premises have been let out to him but the suit has been filed only for shop. Splitting up the tenancy is not allowed, it was obligatory on the part of courts below to give a finding under Section 13 of the Rajasthan Premises (Control of Rent and Eviction) Act, 1950 (hereinafter referred to as the Act of 1950) that the tenant is not ready and willing to pay the rent but no such finding has been recorded and decree has been passed which is a nullity, hence the appeal be admitted.
