Present: Mr. Satbir Rathore, Advocate for the petitioner. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. (Oral) The petitioner was initially inducted as a tenant on rent in the demised premises at the rate of Rs.800/- per month. Thereafter, the rent was enhanced to Rs.1,400/- per month. The respondent/landlady sought eviction of the petitioner on the grounds of non payment of rent since October 2007, personal necessity and change of user. The Rent Controller, Chandigarh, on 9.12.2009, had assessed the provisional rent at the rate of Rs.1,400/- per month along with the cost of Rs.1,000/- and simple interest at the rate of 6% per annum. The petitioner was directed to tender the rent on 24.2.2010. The petitioner only tendered Rs.20,000/- and sought extension of time which was refused by the Rent Controller. Relying upon the judgment rendered in Rakesh Wadhawan Civil Revision No. 5481 of 2010 2 v. M/s Jagdamba Industrial Corporation AIR 2002 Supreme Court 2004 and interpreted by a Division Bench of this Court in Rajan alias Raj Kumar v. Rakesh Kumar 2010 (1) Rent Control Reporter 386, the Rent Controller held that for non deposit of provisional rent assessed, the petitioner is liable to be evicted and passed the order of ejectment. The appeal, filed by the petitioner, was also dismissed. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that as on today, the arrears of rent due, to be recovered from the petitioner, has accumulated to Rs.50,000/-. After the interpretation of Rakesh Wadhawan's case (supra), by a Division Bench of this Court in Rajan alias Raj Kumar (supra), no fault can be found with the order passed by both the Courts below. Hence, there is no merit in the present revision petition and the same is hereby dismissed, in limine. (Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia) Judge August 30, 2010 “DK”
