IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No.331 of 2011 Date of Decision: 06.04.2011 Raj Rani . . .Petitioner Versus Shakuntla Devi . . . Respondent ***** CORAM: HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN ***** Present: Mr.S.S. Deol, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.Naresh Kaushik, Advocate, for the respondent. ***** RAKESH KUMAR JAIN, J (ORAL) This revision petition is directed against order dated 3.12.2010 by which the learned Rent Controller, Jalandhar has assessed the provisional rent. The only argument raised by learned counsel for the petitioner is that in the written statement, the landlord has denied the relationship of landlord and tenant between the parties and therefore, in view of the decision of this Court rendered in “M/s Gawritex Industries Limited, Panchkula Vs. Sqn Ldr. Gurdial Singh (Retd.) & Others” 2009(4) RCR (Civil) 70, the Rent Controller is not obliged to assess the provisional rent. However, learned counsel for the respondent has submitted that the petitioner has not come to the Court with clean hands as she herself had filed civil suit for permanent injunction in which she has alleged that she is the tenant under the present respondent for the last many years. In view of the fact that the pleadings in the civil suit has been verified to be correct by the tenant, therefore, she cannot be allowed to allege that there does not exist relationship of landlord and tenant between the parties. Thus, I do not find any error in the order of the learned Rent Controller and as such the present revision petition is hereby dismissed. (RAKESH KUMAR JAIN) APRIL 06, 2011 JUDGE Vivek
