Civil Revision No. 5146 of 2009 -1- ***** IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 5146 of 2009 Date of decision : 19.5.2010 M/s Rana Mohendra Papers Ltd. ....Petitioner Versus Kanwar Narinder Singh ...Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S. D. ANAND Present: Mr. Rahul Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. Deepak Thapar, Advocate for the respondent. S. D. ANAND, J. It is apparent from a perusal of the material obtaining on the file that the learned Rent Controller did not even frame issues with regard to averments made by the petitioner-tenant qua the sufficiency or otherwise of the ground for setting aside of the exparte order in question. The petitioner herein had been proceeded exparte on a finding that service of the process in ejectment petition had been effected upon a named Receptionist of the petitioner firm. In the course of the plea under Order 9 Rule 13 C.P.C., the petitioner firm averred that official indicated by the Process Server to be Receptionist was, infact, a peon who had been appointed on compassionate basis on the death of her husband and who was not authorised to accept the notice on behalf of the firm. The petition shall stand allowed. The impugned order Civil Revision No. 5146 of 2009 -2- ***** shall stand set aside. The matter shall be listed before the learned Rent Controller on 28.5.2010. The learned Rent Controller shall proceed to frame issues on that date itself. The petitioner-tenant shall conclude evidence by or on 4.6.2010. The respondent-landlord shall conclude evidence by or on 11.6.2010. The application under Order 9 Rule 13 C.P.C. shall be disposed of on merits thereof by or on 14.6.2010. In view of the fact that the relevant matter has come to be delayed on one pretext or the other, this Court would expect that no extension would be requested by the learned Trial Court.
