THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED C.R.P.No.1416 of 2011 ORDER The first and second respondents herein filed RCC No.21 of 2007 on the file of the Principal Junior Civil Judge, Guntur, for eviction. The said RCC was allowed on 09.11.2010, directing the petitioner and the third respondent herein to vacate the petition schedule property and deliver its vacant possession to the first and second respondents within 60 days from the date of the said order. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner filed R.C.A.No.2 of 2011 on the file of the Principal Senior Civil Judge, Guntur. Along with the appeal, she filed I.A.No.50 of 2011 under Section 20 Rule 2 and Order XLI Rule 5 and Section 151 CPC seeking to stay the execution proceedings in R.C.C.No.21 of 2007. After hearing the parties, the lower appellate Court granted interim stay on 08.03.2011 on condition of the petitioner depositing the entire arrears of rent, if any, into the Court since February, 1996 till institution of the appeal within three weeks from that date. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the material on record. 3. As per Section 20(2) of the Andhra Pradesh Buildings (Lease, Rent & Eviction) Control Act, 1960, when an appeal is preferred against the order passed by the Rent Controller, the appellate authority may order stay of further proceedings in the matter pending decision in the appeal. Since the provision itself is clear with regard to granting of stay pending decision in the appeal, I am the view that there is no infirmity in the order impugned. 4. Accordingly, the Civil Revision Petition is dismissed. However, time for deposit of the entire arrears of rent as ordered by the lower appellate Court in the order impugned is extended by four more weeks from today. No costs. ______________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J Date:15.04.2011 sj
