THIS RENT CONTROL REVISION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/01/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C.KURIAKOSE & N.K.BALAKRISHNAN, JJ. ------------------------ R.C.R.No.23 OF 2011 ------------------------ Dated this the 14th day of January, 2011 O R D E R Pius C.Kuriakose, J. Under challenge in this revision filed by the tenants is the judgment of the Rent Control Appellate Authority confirming the order of the Rent Control Court fixing the fair rent of the building at Rs.730/- per mensem as against the original contract rent of Rs.75/- per mensem. 2. Even though apparently attractive grounds have been raised in the revision and Sri.Jijo Paul, learned counsel for the revision petitioners, addressed persuasive arguments on the basis of those grounds, having carefully gone through the order of the rent Control Court and the Judgment of the Appellate Authority, it is clear to our mind that the impugned judgment does not suffer from any infirmity and much less illegality, irregularity or impropriety as envisaged by Section 20 of Act 2 of 1965. The building in question is situated in a very important area of the Thrissur Corporation i.e. very near to the famous RCR.No.23/2011 2 Baslica our lady of dolours. The residential building contains as many as six rooms. The contract rent of Rs.75/- was fixed decades ago. The fair rent of the petition schedule building is fixed by the authorities below at Rs. 730/- on the basis of Exts.A1 to A3, B1 to B3 (a)series. Apart from the commission report Ext.C1 and C1(a) sketch, there was oral evidence of PWs1 & 2 and RW1 also. We are sure that the current rent rate of Rs.730/- per month fixed by the authorities below will not exceed the fair rent for the building. The Revision petition fails and will stand dismissed.
