IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No.142 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision:10.01.2011. Bittu Jassal ...Petitioner Versus Khazan Singh ...Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr. Kamaljit Singh Dhillon, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RAKESH KUMAR JAIN, J.) This revision is directed against the order dated 18.11.2010 by which the learned Rent Controller has fixed the provisional rent @ `5,000/- per month. The only argument raised by learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner/tenant has already paid the entire arrears of rent and to prove that fact, he has referred to a cheque dated 21.10.2009 shown in the statement of accounts of the respondent/landlord as well as of the petitioner/tenant. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the available record in this regard, but I am afraid that this plea cannot be accepted as the only entry in the statement of accounts is not sufficient to prove payment of the entire arrears of rent in the absence of any other document. Thus, I agree with the order passed by the learned Rent Controller to the effect that the question of payment of arrears of rent could be proved only when the parties would lead their evidence. In view of the above, I do not find any fault with the order of the learned Rent Controller. Hence, the present revision petition is hereby dismissed in limine. No costs.
