Respondent **** CORAM : HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT **** 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? **** Present: Mr. Namit Gautam, Advocate for the petitioner ***** SURYA KANT J.(ORAL) (1). In this revision petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner-plaintiffs seeks directions to the Rent Controller, Ludhiana to decide the Rent Petition filed by the petitioner under Section 13 of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949 expeditiously and preferably in a time bound manner. (2). Relying upon a series of zimini orders passed, from time to time, by the Rent Controller, Ludhiana, it is urged that the respondent is adopting the delaying tactics on one pretext or the other, since 2006. (3). Having heard counsel for the petitioner at some length, I am of the considered view that though it is difficult to issue any time bound directions as there might be other petitions filed at an earlier point of time and still pending CR No.6684 of 2009 - 2 - consideration before the concerned Court and no out-of- turn treatment can, therefore, be given to the petition filed by the petitioner. However, like any other litigant, the petitioner is also entitled to the speedy disposal of his case. (4). In view of the attending facts and circumstances, this revision petition is disposed of with a direction to the Rent Controller, Ludhiana to make an endeavour to decide the petition filed by the petitioner as early as possible and preferably within one year.
