IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.5272 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision : 30.11.2009. Om Parkash .....Petitioner versus Waheguru Singh and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Rakesh Chopra, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.Anil Chawla, Advocate, for the respondents. -.- 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? --- ORDER Surya Kant, J. (Oral) This revision petition is directed by the landlord against the order dated 27.7.2009 passed by the Rent Controller, Amritsar, whereby his application to examine the Building Expert alongwith the Photographer, with a further direction to the respondent-tenant to allow the said Building Expert to inspect the demised premises, has been declined. The Rent Controller has turned down the petitioner's prayer mainly for the reason that he has already examined AW-7-Arwinder Singh, who claims himself to be a Building Expert. The impugned order itself suggests that Arvinder Singh-AW-7 is a Draftsman and not a qualified Engineer. One of the grounds taken for C.R. No.5272 of 2009 (O&M) 2 eviction of the tenants from the demised premises is that the demised premises has become totally unfit and unsafe for human habitation and that the tenants have materially impaired its value and utility. It would, therefore, be in the interest of justice and equity to permit the petitioner to examine a Building Expert alongwith the Photographer as it would help the Rent Controller to arrive at just conclusion. For the reasons afore-stated, the revision petition is allowed; the impugned order dated 27.7.2009 is set-aside and the Rent Controller, Amritsar is directed to permit the petitioner-landlord to produce Mr.M.R.Anand, Building Expert alongwith the Photographer. The respondent-tenants shall permit the Building Expert and the Photographer to inspect the let out premises. Needless to say that the respondent-tenants shall also be at liberty to examine a Building Expert. Dasti. 30-11-2009 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
